Only a few of the youths from mercenary or gentry families appeared somewhat composed. They stood out, attracting the noble daughter's attention.
"Who are those people?" she asked.
"Children from nearby estates," the mercenary beside her answered.
"Estate children?" Antitina was curious. Estate children were descendants of the gentry; why would they be here?
"Sneaked out,"
It turned out to be thrill-seeking noble youths. The noble daughter looked at those few people. "Have they been investigated?" Her question was somewhat redundant. Since they had come here, they had lost the opportunity to retreat. These people would be sent into the Black Forest regardless of their mindset.
Antitina only hoped these young people wouldn't regret their choices.
