Kapitel 64: 64. Return to the Palace

Just as Kairav was still enveloped in confusion, one of the men in military uniform stepped forward toward them. The man with tan skin, a muscular build, and short, neatly trimmed hair stopped in front of Prince Arkana.

He slowly bowed his head in respect. "Apologies for our delayed assistance, Your Highness."

The young prince gave a slight nod with a neutral expression. "How went your patrol in the northern forest, Captain of the Hunt? Did you encounter any signs of monsters there?" he asked.

The Hunt Captain responded seriously. "We camped out there for several days and combed every inch of the forest, but we didn't find any monsters. The area is completely clear, Your Highness."

"That's good to hear. I was just worried about the rising frequency of Depths Abominations appearing. Better to take preventive measures sooner rather than later," replied the young prince, a hint of relief on his face.
