Cheerio's looming arrival

8th October 1574

"While I knew that it was to be expected but to see the city reduced to such a state…"

As if with a touch of magical wand, once my soldiers disposed of the entire Ostros family, the remaining survivors of the place nearly instantly dropped their weapons. If only I could share this information, it could easily serve as an additional way of confirming that our enemy was finally dead, but doing so would ultimately bring way too much attention to me.

"Thinking about this, who managed to kill the Ostros? Ah, don't worry!"

As soon as I asked the question, I could see the uneasiness appearing on the face of my officers. For a commoner to kill a noble, no matter the situation, meant a death penalty. And those officers of mine actually thought that after ordering them to do so, I would still hold it against them?
