Second Battle [1]

The sun is slowly setting.

Carl tried hard to suppress his nervousness, but it was difficult to bear.

"Is there any news yet?"

"Not yet. It looks like something happened at Hilfin Castle."

In response to Catherine, Carl clenched his fists.

A long time has passed since the messenger sent to Hilfin Castle returned.

If the messenger arrived safely and the request for assistance was successful, the messenger would have mounted the horse again and delivered the news.

However, since there has been no news yet, something must have happened at Hilfin Castle.

'Could it be that Maldin has already left with his troops? No, if that were the case, he would have had a messenger come back and give me the news.'

Carl barely restrained himself from biting his lip as he glared at the darkening forest.
