Crates and baggages that were loaded onto carriages clattered as the wooden wheels collided against the unpaved, uneven dirt ground. Officers on horses were doing their regular "patrol" and were on their way to the next village to plunder under the disguise of justice.

In the distance, a high-pitched yet determined voice spoke out, "You officers over there!"

The voice attracted the officers to a cliff where they saw the silhouettes of multiple people.

Again, the voice spoke, "Stop right there!"

This time, it was the officers' turn to speak. One of them demanded in a loud voice as the others looked in confusion, "Who are you??"

"The land has become our territory! Hand over all your money if ya value your lives!!" A hooded figure shouted. Despite the person's small structure, the people behind her were all huge and held menacing expressions. Though there was a woman carrying a child but besides her, the others looked tough.

"Badits? I have an odd feeling about them." One officer murmured.

"They don't seem to be big in number." Another added, unamused at their attackers.

"Hey, do away with them quickly." Another one ordered, irritated.

"Well spoken, scum!"

"Keep your eyes peeled and look carefully!!"

"We are the fierce dark dragon and the happy hungry bunch!!"

"Oh dear, they really are going at this quite passionately." Nawu murmured under her breath as she looked at Yona and the others in disbelief.

"Mommy? What's a dak dagon?" Jadira asked as she played with Nawu's long, straight hair.

"Something you don't need to know Jadira. Just play with my hair and keep quiet." Nawu smiled and avoided the question. But it was seriously funny how far this was escalating.

It all happened three days ago. Yona has chased out all the officers that had came to Katan village. What's more, she proposed something outrageous.

With an innocent look and a finger above her mouth, Yona naively muttered to the others, "Well, I wonder if it'll be fine to become a bandit just once in my life."

"Absolutely not, being a bandit is a tough job with nasty consequences. I don't want you to experience that," Nawu firmly rejected the idea, carrying the two year old Jadira in her arms.

"Yona dear, didn't you give out our bandit group name just a moment ago?" Jaeha responded nonchalantly.

"Oh that's right." The crimson-haired princess bounced back as if it was no big deal.

"What's with that lightness as if you're just changing jobs?!" Yoon snapped at the two as Nawu nodded in the background.

After light arguing between Yona and Yoon, everybody had decided that it was for the better to rebel against the officers and protect the villagers under the claim of being "bandits".

Which soon led to a rather fiddly situation.
