News of the large-scale troop movement from Zabiyaba quickly reached the ears of Baroness Virgo and the Knight Commander. It was well past midnight, but every light in Spica Castle blazed in response to the enemy advance.
"Those wicked monsters... they're actually marching toward our castle..."
Baroness Virgo had been out of her mind ever since hearing the news. Imagining the future that awaited her if the barony fell made her nauseous.
"I'll be violated... I'll definitely be violated by orcs...!"
Dreams and reality were different. It was bound to be painful and agonizing. Her noble title and territory would go up in flames in an instant, like a log tossed into a bonfire.
"Please calm down, Baroness."
"Meri...!"
The Baroness rushed to Meri and buried her face in her chest. They had been sharing a bed for some time now, but beyond that, Meri was the only trustworthy vassal left in the lord's castle.
