Strangeness
Unbeknownst to the poor seller and the unscrupulous soldier who just had their little incident near the city gate, a pair of cold eyes secretly watched from the shadows without anyone's notice.
Looking at the unruly soldier who had just conned the poor seller leaving with the other big bearded soldier, the man stocking the two from the shadows had an imperceptible glimmer shining in his eyes.
Letting out a muffled scowl, the man turned his head, his eyes narrowing full of suspicion as he saw the oddly, extremely highly guarded city.
The City was almost sealed as only some selected people were allowed to leave the gates. At first glance, only the outside merchants, the Maugier Family soldiers, and knights as well as some of the city's merchants were allowed to leave.
The commoners didn't seem to mind this as they wouldn't leave the city without a firm reason, to begin with, but the man in the shadows found this situation to be most peculiar.
