[Western State of La Magia, Count Logan Revis]
News had reached the Far East that a girl named Cero Restes had killed Sarah Eldrath, the South's finest assassin. Fortunately, no one had seen Cero's face or drawn her likeness.
False rumors were spreading across the kingdom that Gabby was hiding in the West under the protection of Count Logan Rivas.
Count Logan's face turned grim as he read the letter from the messenger, sealed by Duke Ashby.
"An extensive search for Cero Restes in my territory? I won't allow it!" he shouted.
The messenger, expecting for his response, warned, "Then Duke Ashby will use military force to search the West."
Count Logan's face twisted hearing the bold response of the messenger.
He thought to himself, "Duke Ashby II has no proof. Just a hunch or a petty reason to justify their conquest by conquering the West of La Magia Kingdom. As if we don't see through it. He's clearly insulting my authority as a Count."
