All dead

All Dead.

[Ace POV],

After Emma asked Sir Roland to gather the people who brought the paintings from the merchant who came to their village a few weeks ago, Sir Roland demonstrated the brains of a leader by bringing the paintings the locals brought without being asked.

Sir Roland's position in this village was most likely given to him because he was a knight.

I assume he is a knight because if the ways nobles offer territories in this place are similar to those in my world's medieval ages, then there can only be another leader with more authority than a village headman if he is a knight.

As these random thoughts raced through my mind, I examined the paintings in front of me.

When the paintings were brought here, I had a suspicious thought that more oil puppets would jump out of them, but nothing of the sort happened, making me wonder if the oil puppet we just killed was the only one in the village in the first place.
