Kapitel 186: Who sent the letter?

The villagers had a total of eleven deaths and twenty-three injured, they did fight bravely against the invading bandits.

After having their wounds slightly treated by the village's medic, Cain, Alice, Selena, and Sofia were sent to Lexi's house to rest. Zaleria and Lexi were unscathed, with Gracie who only had minor bruises tending to them. No matter how hard Zaleria tried, she couldn't find a trace of Kayden. He had disappeared like he was never there.

Lexi's little sister headed outside to draw water from the village well, it was a fair bit away from their home and was located at the edge of the forest.

She reached the well and drew water into her waterskin, it wasn't as heavy as it looked since the girl was used to working in the field.

As she lifted her eyes, she could see something moving inside the forest, or more like it was trying to hide in the bushes. She reasonably decided to investigate, 'What could go wrong?' she thought.
