Ragnora found herself completely unable to help.
Then her gaze fell upon two beastkin nearby—lion-kin by the look of them, with magnificent manes framing their faces.
They looked strong and mighty, the kind of warriors who commanded respect on any battlefield.
She began walking toward them.
The moment they saw her approach, the mighty-looking beastkin immediately cowered.
Their proud postures crumbled. Their faces went pale. By the time Ragnora reached them—towering over them with her massive frame—they looked like frightened kittens rather than fearsome warriors.
Ragnora opened her mouth to speak.
"I'M SORRY, COMMANDER! I'M SORRY!"
Ragnora blinked, clearly caught off guard.
"...What?"
"I knew you would find out!" The first lion-kin wailed. "There's nothing that can get past you! It's true—yesterday, while we were playing cards, I cheated! I used some tricks to win the bets! I'm so sorry! I won't do it again!"
Shouts immediately erupted from the surrounding soldiers.
