Bab 83: Ruby's Request

"It doesn't matter! Stay, Mark!" Ian let go of me and walked behind a table with a map spread out. He stood facing Mark and said, "Two things. First, you mobilize a small team to return to the palace secretly. I will write a letter and have someone bring it to my mother. She will know what to do! Second, send people to search nearby for traces of the Black Wolf members. If they find anyone suspicious, kill them all. Do you understand?" 

Ian's expression was grave, his tone stern.

"I understand, Your Highness!" Mark said, "By the way, what should we do with the little girl who broke into the barracks?"

"Ruby? where is she?" I asked hurriedly.

"Her name is Ruby?" Mark looked at me. "Because she was too noisy earlier, I managed to get her to sleep for a while!"

"Did you hurt her?" When I stood up, I tore a muscle in my shoulder because of the sudden movement, and the pain that followed made me frown.
