Chapter 163: Kidnapping case (part 1)

"The only way to not make mistakes is to do nothing."

Corvus shrugged his shoulders while patting the crestfallen Mika's head.

They were sitting in front of their carriage while Ti was tying up the couple and the child that had turned out to not be the poor victims but the actual ruffians, while Cal was helping the men from the rescue party stand up and go to Cri who would then heal them up.

Needless to say, all of them were rather displeased that they got mistaken for bandits.

Especially the one in the lead, who had turned out to be the kidnapped girl's father.

But since all of them were locals from a nearby village and have at least heard that their lord and his family all had ashen hair, they restrained themselves to just the scolding looks and didn't voice their true feelings.

"Once again, I am so terribly sorry!"

Mika bowed at the ninety-degree angle, making all the healed-up men flinch.
