A month has passed.
Yun's plans worked out in his favour.
Since they had the cooperation of the people from the town, unbeknownst to Ephert, Cecil could procure the herbs and flowers to make the cure for the disease running rampant. The clean sheets and clothes also brought about better hygiene for everyone, which allowed a faster recovery for the people.
Moreover, Hana have been taking care of their diets meticulously. Alas, the two ladies weren't enough to take on this duty on their own, hence, the group had been busy trying to assist Cecil and Hana.
Thankfully, they had been keeping up their disguise well, as well as keeping the lips of the mercenaries shut. If one of them tried to sneak out, Kiyae or K'xug would bring them back here after they were beaten black and blue.
The mercenaries wanted to cry without tears.
"Any news?"
"Nope, not at all," Kiyae shook her head, snorting. "Not even a peep from him. For once, I'm happy Ephert is the way he is."
