"Anything, sir, lord!" the nervous one said while the other also nodded his head promptly.
"You have mentioned that there is a group of people hunting down bandits? Tell me more about who they are and how the two of you evaded their capture." Lucius said.
'Based on the delays of their arrival here, I can easily conclude that they must have done a lot of running and hiding to survive.' Lucius thought.
The two were indeed bandits and were dressed in a manner that was actually befitting of their station. However, in addition to the usual bandit attire, one could notice the grass, mud and other signs of running for their lives on their attire.
'If it truly weren't for Lord Asher needing answers from them, then I wouldn't have even allowed a single one of them to approach. I can smell their stench all the way from here. It's an unpleasant odor of sweat along with grass and others…' Kiana thought as she scrunched up her nose in disgust.
