The caravan moved slowly on the road. Chattering between the passengers echoed throughout the woods. The riders kept their distance close to the caravan with Kraus moving up and down to check once in a while.
Nadia observed the man closely. She rode closer to Siderius and whispered.
"Kraus seems... very eager." She said.
Siderius nodded. "He is a very useful subordinate."
"You know who he was?" Nadia said.
Siderius' lips curved up. "Which one you're referring to? The cutthroats or the whore bastard?"
Nadia let out a breath and returned her gaze to the road ahead. "So you do know about his past. I was just wondering why you use him. He doesn't seem to be trustworthy to me."
"There are tasks that people like him would not hesitate to do, Nadia. Tasks that you and your people would not like to do.
That is where the usefulness of Kraus come in."
"I heard he killed his last leader."
Siderius chuckled slightly. "You're right. Big Snout Gert was killed by Kraus. Under my order."
