She was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Didn't you say Madre is a bastard?"
"Would Lord Rod, being so cunning, easily trust a bastard?"
"Well..."
Silo thought for a moment and explained, "Maybe he has a special way to control Madre."
"I don't care what kind of conspiracy this is!"
Lurice suddenly turned and walked to the table, pointing at the map on the long table covered with dense red marks,
"Seven villages have been completely destroyed now!"
"We've lost over five hundred villagers!"
Lurice's voice was filled with grief and despair.
"The entire land is bleeding, and the people of the Hawk Clan are living in fear!"
"No matter who is behind this, no matter what kind of scheming plot it is!"
"I only know that Madre is one of your people!"
Lurice shouted angrily,
"You must take responsibility for this!"
"Of course, of course!"
Silo nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured, Baron, I will report everything to my master."
