Miserable End

'First of all... objectives.'

The woman turned around, quickly checked on the baron being held captive.

The man was scared shitless. He could probably guess what was happening because he had seen everything around him. And, well... he seemed to have lost his mind as a result.

Still, she was sure that if they could get out of here, he could still be used for their purposes. He was a man with a high survival instinct and he was also not that stupid.

He would do everything just to be alive.

So, she left him as he was. She walked towards one of the carriages. And what she found when she got inside was... simply a chest. There was nothing inside except this chest.

She opened it, checking the contents.

There were all the letters that Feria Lockhend had sent to the baron.

Nothing seemed to be missing.

In short, whoever the traitor was, he or she hadn't found the letters yet, or if they had, they had chosen not to take them.
