However, Lander didn't give any reply. He waved his hand and pointed at Kieran's wagon further away.
...
The four-wheeled wagon was spacious enough inside.
There were two rows of seats facing each other, enough to seat six to seven people.
However, after a big backpack was stuffed in, the whole wagon became narrow, but it was still more than enough to seat three people.
Kieran glanced over his two captives.
A shiver ran down his spine.
The other one said respectfully, "My lord!"
When it heard the respectful greeting, it quivered even more.
The one who was trembling was trembling even more violently.
Rien thought he was not a coward.
After all, as a Mutant in the eyes of the people, he had seen too many things that commoners didn't know. Some horrifying incidents were as common to him as if he was having a meal.
He was even involved in those incidents.
Just like the serial assassinations that happened in Herl City a while ago, it was also his doing.
Rien showed no mercy to the Night monsters. He used the cruelest methods to deal with those failed and betrayed experiments.
However, when Rien caught Kieran's gaze, he felt like a helpless little girl facing a buff man.
Other than trembling, all that was left was trembling.
He couldn't resist at all.
In fact, until now, Rien still didn't understand why his partner, Sven, would betray him all of a sudden. Not only did he address Kieran as his lord, but he also answered all of Kieran's questions. Even the most secretive things were told to Kieran without a second thought.
Such a thing was simply too strange.
Even though Rien was a Mutant, he had never seen it before.
But …
He had heard of it before.
Rumor had it that the emperor of the Neegor Dynasty had the means to control people's hearts.
"Damn it! Damn it!
"Everyone's underestimating our enemy. The guy in front of us isn't some high-rank noble at all. He should be a member of the royal family that has the bloodline of His Majesty the Emperor. Only the royal family has such power!"
But why would the Royals appear here?
Why are they with the commoners?
"Could it be that something unpredictable has happened to His Majesty's seal?"
Rien's heart was spinning rapidly.
At the same time, the fear brought about by the unknown was spreading in its heart.
Then, Kieran made his move.
[Mesly Ring] that had just finished its cooldown period shone brightly again. Rien's thoughts stagnated for a moment.
When it regained its senses, it looked at Kieran with respect.
It was as if Kieran was the person it had been taught to be loyal to since it was young.
"Rien greets my lord!"
Leen knelt on one knee in an ancient gesture.
He was no different from Sven beside him.
"Rien, tell me your plan and fill in Sven's gaps!"
Kieran said slowly.
"Yes!"
"Mozorc has formed an alliance with Edgar. They can't wait to make their move. Not only did they send me and Sven, but they also know Contly's weakness. They want to use your close relationship with Contly to spy on your whereabouts …"
Leen told him everything he knew.
Compared to Sven, there was a lot more substantial content.
Especially when it comes to Conti.
"Her weakness was grasped, so she was controlled?"
Kieran squinted his eyes as he recalled the Guardian of Isogu City.
She didn't show up at the appointed time, which meant she wasn't without resistance against the control.
As for the effect?
It was obvious as well.
At least they were on high alert now.
However, the alliance between the Mutants and the Night race had exceeded Kieran's imagination.
Kieran knew from Sven that the Night race had betrayed the Mutants under Bartos' lead. Not only did the Mutants suffer great losses, but they were also almost wiped out.
It was unbelievable that the Night race could form an alliance with such a grudge.
"Did I overdo it last time? Did they find it troublesome?"
Or did the Night race offer something that the Mutants couldn't reject? "
Kieran muttered to himself.
He wasn't an arrogant person, so he was leaning towards the latter.
Especially when the latter was related to Edgar who could duplicate 'great items' non-stop, Kieran guessed Edgar must have offered something.
A 'great item' was the most probable.
Regardless of what it was, the alliance between the Night race and the Mutants was a fact. The controlled Mutants wouldn't lie to Kieran.
After getting the exact information, Kieran was even more determined to escape this time.
If he waited for the Night race and the Mutants to finish their preparations, it would be one disaster after another. Only by leaving Herl City, where they had been preparing for a long time and catching them off guard, would they have a chance.
Of course, Kieran wouldn't simply run away.
It wasn't his style.
He would counterattack.
It would be a fatal strike.
"My lord, Lady Conti is requesting an audience!"
The controlled bodyguard, Pelby, knocked on the carriage door and said softly.
Kieran curled his lips into a grin.
The chance had arrived!

Somehow, he felt like eating twice-cooked pork …
