Carou traveled east without rest.
It had to reach the castle as soon as possible and report to its king about the recent developments in Adventurers' City.
Once beyond the Lamiyan Mountains, it would stop by at the human settlements and arrange for maidens to be transported to the castle.
A few days since its departure from the city, it noticed something peculiar.
"Hmm?" Its eyes narrowed as it sensed three presences in the far distance.
Two humans and a beast.
Carou's eyes slowly narrowed when it noticed one of them sensing its approach. Immediately after, the beast vanished and then only the two humans remained.
"How perceptive," it murmured, its lips curling into an amused smirk.
It picked up speed, and within moments, it had arrived at the edge of the clearing. Noticing the corpses strewn around, it exclaimed slightly.
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here?"
