In Swamp Town, inside a rather luxurious villa, Reisen was in bed, tangled up with his lover.
Nobles were typically only allowed one wife at a time, a rule passed down from the old laws of the Empire.
However, a nobleman could have many lovers.
Reisen had lovers in several places, and he kept one in Swamp Town whom he would visit for a bit of fun whenever the mood struck.
After a brief climax, he entered the cool-down phase. He lay in bed with the beautiful woman in his arms, but a sense of unease lingered in his mind.
'Didn't the Skull Society send an assassin to kill Ronin? How has it been this long with no news from Mountain Forest Town?'
Knight Philton had delivered the letter himself, and it was Philton who had brought back the verbal reply.
'Could the assassination have failed?'
The moment he considered this possibility, Reisen dismissed it.
If the Skull Society truly intended to assassinate Ronin, they would absolutely dispatch a core member.
