“The Flynn Merchant Guild leader is dead. The second child has run away.”
Two sentences were enough.
– I’ll send people over right away.

The capital, Huiss City.
The atmosphere in the capital was extremely dull, unlike the blue sky despite it not being long since they heard about the victory at Puzzle City.
“I don’t see smoke anymore.”
“…The Orsena Estate was on fire, right?”
“Yes. My next-door neighbor Charles said he saw it.”
“Ho. What the-!”
The man stopped talking and quickly closed his mouth.
Clack. Clack. Clack.
Around ten soldiers fully clad in armor were walking by in formation.
Soldiers were efficiently moving around like this all around the capital right now.
Furthermore, a knight on a horse was moving quicker than they normally did in the capital.
“…Hey.”
The man who closed his mouth asked his close friend in an extremely quiet voice.
“Aside from the Duke’s Estate, at the palace earlier-”
“…….”
“Didn’t you hear a loud noise coming from there? It sounded like something was crumbling down.”
“…I don’t know either.”
The eyes of the person who responded were slightly shaking.
The palace and the Orsena Estate, which was located in the area with all the residences of the nobles… Neither location was close to her house.
That was why all she knew was that something had happened.
“I guess we should probably close for the day.”
Her close friend quickly put the goods back into the store. She started to move to help him when she saw someone coming toward them and her eyes opened wide. The shop owner, who was putting away the stand, reacted the same way.
“Oh! You are-”
“Hello, mister. You still have some medicinal roots, right?”
“Huh? Y, yes!”
“Please organize all of the ones you have and send them to our estate!”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
The medicinal roots merchant urgently called out to the young boy who was speaking quickly. His voice was a bit cautious.
“Did something happen?”
Some of the people around them turned to look at the young boy as well.
This young boy was someone who worked at a Count’s Estate and had come from the neighborhood of the nobles.
“That-”
Furthermore, the fact that he was buying large quantities of medicinal roots must mean that something had happened.
It was because the person who wants these medicinal roots must be someone at the Count’s Estate.
“The Orsena Estate caught on fire and burnt down completely.”
“What?”
“And, umm-”
He looked around, confirmed that there were no soldiers nor knights near them, and continued to speak.
