"The Dungeon? That place is full of black men packed in crowded fucking cells!" Reinhard sprang to life.

"Why wasn't I informed? That woman would be violated and played with in there!" Reinhard angrily said.

"I think that was Ava's intention," Jord said. His voice turning soft. He looked down on the ground, prompting Reinhard to calm down.

"Wait, Jord. It's not your fault," Reinhard said, thinking that Jord was blaming himself.

"I wanted to stand up against her when she told us to do it, but knowing the punishment that would befall me if I did, I cowered and let the bastards take the girl," Jord clenched his fists.

"It's not your fault. Even I fear the consequences of standing up against the nobility but do cheer up," Reinhard smiled.

Jord looked at him and smiled as well.

"You bastard. So, what are you going to do now that you know what happened to the girl?" Jord asked.

"She's a mage right? A tank mage," Reinhard asked.

"Yes, she can also cast fire and water related magic but that's as far as I know," Jord said.

"She was at peak C-grade but, unless they restrained her and her magic while in that dungeon, I doubt things have happened to her, yet," Reinhard said.

"But wasn't her magic restrained when she was captured?" Jord asked.

"No, when we captured her. I had two other mages with me who sucked out all her mana," Reinhard said.

"W-wait, magiclust?!" Jord was surprised. 

"Yes, mages who specialize in sucking out the mana of others. But her mana won't stay depleted for long and I doubt the mages would be stationed there just so she could be restrained," Reinhard said.

"That's true but wouldn't you think that when they took her there, she was still low in mana?" Jord asked.

Reinhard realized the hole in his reasoning.

"Shit, you're right,"

Both of them sighed.

"So both of them are dead, huh," Jord said.

"Most likely. The band of knight friends the count sent out to chase after that runaway elf will surely not return. Those cowards wouldn't last a single day in the forest, let alone 5 days," Reinhard said.

"Right on. But I get this feeling that something else might have happened," Jorn said.

"Yeah" Reinhard nodded.

"Hey, is it me, or there are no monsters came out of the forest, its been nearly a week that we didn't see a single one. It's too quiet over there" Jord said.

"Yeah, this is unusual"

Reinhard walked to the edge of the wall and looked towards the forest that was a kilometer in front of him.

Only one dirt path lead to the forest which is already abandoned and full of grass, vines, and covered by treelines while the other roads diverged to the grassy plains and the fields of wheat.
