Odelia asked, taken aback. A single report like that offered little information. The Herald, seemingly aware of this, immediately began to explain the *Full Story*.

“After Beled left, we immediately entered the *Kingdom*.”

It was a land already ruined, abandoned by its people. There was no reason to hesitate to enter.

The scene they witnessed was said to be utterly desolate, bloodstains everywhere, burned or *ruined buildings*.

“We expected many bodies... but there were fewer than we thought. Thanks to that, there wasn’t much to make us frown, but...” “Even that monster couldn’t have carried out a massacre in just two days. That *Country* fell because its king died, not because it suffered severe damage.”

That’s why many *people* from the *Ruryeon Kingdom* were already moving to rebuild it. Though the king and his *family* had mostly been beheaded, a great many of the *people* who formed the foundation of the *Kingdom* had survived. Frankly speaking, a king could be replaced.

“No, it wasn’t just that. The *Street* was almost clean, as if someone had cleared away the bodies.”

But the Herald’s words were just the beginning.
