162 Chapter XXXII: The Vengeful Witch [1]

ACROSS THE STREET of the town of Doulburg– situated near the border between Regalia and Falmundth– the drunken song of three knights reverberated in the middle of the night. They sang to their hearts' content, as they did their rounds of booze prior, rendering the onslaught of the cold autumn night naught. One was Sir Coleman Fridge, ranked sixty-fifth seat in the Order of the Raven Knights under the service of the Interim Duke of Regalia, stationed at the town to aid the garrison at trimming down the population of Ill-spawns around the area. Alongside him were two local knights, cavalrymen of the Regalian Standing Army. Between the bountiful harvest and the successful hunt, they shared the townsfolk's joyous sentiment.
