Howell Makini [3]

"No, so you left him alone?"

"I'm sorry. Honestly, I don't know what to do."

The knight who heard the report from the soldier sighed in embarrassment. If they banished them, they might go somewhere and start talking nonsense. But they couldn't just kill them, either.

Only after thinking about it to that point did the knight realize that Howell was not just a smart guy. If he had been a little more arrogant or clung to the soldiers a little longer, he could have been rounded up and killed on the spot as a mob.

And even if he had kept saying that he wanted to see Carl, they could have thrown him in prison or killed him.

In other words, not only was he intelligent, but he also knew how aristocratic society worked.

"This is..."

It was understandable that the soldier reported to him. The knight wondered what to do about this.
