3RD PERSON POV
After the encounter with the shadow, the party began making their way to meet the queen.
On their way, they stumbled upon a farming village filled with demi-humans.
Ryuji: That's weird. I thought the kingdom hates demis, so where is there a whole village full of them here?
Naofumi: Yeah, this is weird
As the group got curious, Melty realized where they were.
Melty: Oh, that's right!
Filo: What is it, Mel?
Melty: I know the nobleman in charge of this region
Ryuji: Is that bad news?
Melty shook her head.
Melty: No, he's a good man. He might be able to help us out
Naofumi: Really?
Melty: You may not believe it, but in the past, there were some nobles that encouraged peaceful relations with demi-humans. The leader of that group I a wonderful man
Ryuji: And that leader of the group ons the place?
Melty shook her head again.
Melty: No, the man im referring to is the Lord of the Seyaette region. Unfortunately, the leader of the group passed away during the first wave...
Naofumi noticed the pained expression of Raphtalia and realized why.
Melty: and when he passed away, all the nobles who sided with him were banished by father to the most remote regions of the kingdom
Ryuji: *angry* that asshole. He probably sent those nobles hoping that they would be too far for the army or the heroes to reach during the waves
Filo: Raphtalia, are you okay?
Raphtalia: the village where my family is from... it's in the Seyaette region
Melty: I heard that after the waves, the villages were hit by rioters
Raphtalia: I'm afraid it was... my village was attacked by a mob of Melromarc soldiers who were completely out of control
Naofumi: *angry* The more I hear about these scum, the more I'm disgusted
Ryuji: *angry* Same here
Melty bowed apologetically at Raphtalia.
Melty: im so sorry
Raphtalia: But Melty, it's not your fault
Melty: As royalty, there must've been something we could've done, but we did noting to help. Raptalia, tell me everything you know about those soldiers
Raphtalia: Huh?
Melty: Once everything is cleared up, I'll make sure they're brought to justice
Raphtalia: Thank you...
Naofumi: So anyway. This nobleman lives around here, right?
Melty: Yes
Ryuji: And you're sure we could trust him?
???: Of course you can
Everyone was startled when a man suddenly showed up behind the party.
