Bab 93: Getting Tricked by an Invincible Enemy

After throwing all the food away, the gray-eyed woman gave her men a simple order.

"Gather everyone together and take a head count."

All the moving carriages stopped and the whole group gathered together. Then the counting began.

And the result was...

"Huh..."

She suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"What happened?"

"There are fifty-seven people..."

The total number was supposed to be fifty-eight.

The woman ran her eyes over those gathered in front of her. After a brief moment, she paused, frowned, and turned to the man next to her.

"Count again, there are fifty-eight of us."

The man counted again.

But...

"I count fifty-seven, my lady..."

After what she heard, the gray-eyed woman turned to someone else.

She told her to count everyone too.

And then...

"I count fifty-six, my lady."

Her brow furrowed even more in confusion.

Were they under the influence of an illusion?
