Bab 201: Not One Less

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Benjamin’s mind when he read the sentence. The fact that she first became the wife of the bandit leader and then proceeded to become the lead bandit was mindboggling enough to cause Benjamin to suspect that there was some hidden agenda beneath the surface – Benjamin was unwilling to believe that she did not plan the timely meeting between the bandits and the mages. No, the timing was too accurate to be a coincidence.

But then, what was her motive?

Benjamin tried hard but could not understand her actions. Could it be that there was a personal conflict between her and Augustine? Could that be the reason why she kidnapped him?

Anyway, there was no use for him to brood over these thoughts. Benjamin bowed his head to look at the letter in his hand as he sank into his thoughts. This crumpled draft of a letter that was repeatedly corrected became the only clue to Benjamin in this dimly lit space.
