Chapter 191 - Genward Past
But then Desmond's footsteps stopped. He suddenly turned around and closed the door violently.
With the loud sound he made, his strange behaviour indirectly caught people's attention; even the grieving Veronica took a glance.
"Young master?" Inside the horse carriage, Laura asked, seeing the shocked face of her young master.
Meanwhile, Desmond sat on the bed and lay down, completely ignoring Laura.
"If someone asks, tell him that I'm not feeling well." With his eyes closed, Desmond said.
Even though Laura was confused by her young master's behaviour, still, she answered, "Ye .. s young master."
Her wound has been healed, but instead of wear her usual clothes now, her stomach was wrapped by a piece of cloth twisted back, forming a long square.
Although Laura didn't object nor disobey her young master command, still she did not understand. But then her young master explained this act as a disguise.
Somehow, Desmond felt that his meeting with Vesta would be crucial; therefore, he wanted to buy as much time as possible.
Therefore he did not ask helo from the Steel Legion mercenaries who would easily heal him and Laura with their members, mostly Witches.

Meanwhile, Genward Situation.
After the battle, the royal soldiers cleaned the corpses of the beasts and gathered them into one place.The soldiers did not dare to dissect or burn them immediately because each body part of the beasts was very useful in medicine or forging materials.
On the other hand, the mercenaries demanded their reward, which eventually made Vesta intervene.
At the big house near the town square, one of the rooms with a big rounded table was placed in the middle. Spotted the village head, Sam seems to be holding another discussion with other important village figures.
Unlike their previous discussion location, this discussion seemed to be considered more formal because it was different. With the presence of a Guardian, Vesta was watching over them.
"Then?" Vesta asked, still leisurely sitting down as he enjoyed his tea. His gaze swept across everyone, which made them shiver in panic and lowered their heads before finally focusing on Sam.

....
The strange attack from the beasts that surprisingly led by the goblins and, at the same time, the villagers' strange attitude towards his group made Vesta unable to tolerate anymore and immediately held a discussion.
One question left all of these people silent, with Sam staring at Vesta complicated.
On the other hand, Jon, the person who was also in this room, saw their fellows were speechless and lowered their heads. This made him gritted his teeth and shouted, "Enough!"
Jon glanced at Vesta with emotion and uncontrollable breath, "Don't deceive us anymore, hurry and get out of this village, or we won't hesitate to expel you by using force."
After saying this, he just felt that some heavyweight had finally disappeared. He then remembered Sam words and took a breath and peeked at Vesta and only to saw his expression still the same, ignorant.
This made his emotions erupt again, "We are good people even after that incident...we still provide you supplies !" Seeing Vesta is still unmoved makes him beg in angry. " Please leave this village ... "
Vesta remained unmoved; his gaze shifted to the respective representatives and found that they, too, were looking at him.
Although he was a little surprised to see Jon suddenly like this, he already had a rough idea of what was going on upon hearing the situation.
"Mr Sam. " Vesta called out.
Upon hearing this, Sam tensed up; he hopes to bury himself when he saw Jon's behaviour."Yes, sir?"
"Please tell me the details." While saying this, Vesta let out a dried chuckle which made Sam shivered as he also hinted Sam to get the people out, especially Jon.
Seeing this, Sam knew this matter is not simply again. He looked at his friend, Jon, before shaking his head and ask them to leave
Jon, who was being pulled by other villagers, forcibly snorted at Vesta before finally shrugged his shoulder and walk byself.
After everyone came out, leaving Sam and Vesta, then Sam corrected his sitting posture and stood up, and suddenly bowed, "Please forgive my friend, sir! He didn't mean to be presumptuous like that ... "
Vesta, who had been silently receiving this humiliation, finally opened his mouth, "Accepted, as compensation, tell me what the problem is." Even though he was a Guardian now with a high postion . Still in the past, he was aslo an ordinary villagers from a small village.
Vesta understands Jon's emotion. With a quick eye exchange, he can make the conclusion that Jon's gaze does not contain hatred or revenge but that he looks disappointed at the royal officials and takes it out on him, who happens to be on duty.
When Sam heard this answer, he was delighted, "Thank you very much, sir. Thank you." and knelt on the ground and banged his head countless times.
Maybe because people outside the city are not used to the new system. They presume this new system the same as the aristocratic system, which makes them still afraid of rich or high positions.
Vesta as a Guardian certainly knows this as he almost found the same behaviour in every village he has visited, "Get up, and quickly tell me the details."
Even though Vesta said casually but Sam could feel a sense of impatience from his tone. He quickly sat back down and explained what had happened.
Before the arrival of Vesta's group, another group was also stopped by this village but with a different purpose, namely trading.
Of course, as the head of the village, Sam was the one who welcomed the people. Their group consisted of many people with fancy clothes and bodyguards full of armour.
Even though Sam felt something amiss at first but when he saw a Wizards in the group, Sam immediately dispelled those feelings, and he happily let them in.
But what happened next was catastrophic.
At this time, Sam, who was telling this story, even bit his lower lip which made shed blood as he felt that his position as village chief had failed.
The group that they thought were merchant turned out to be a group of bandits in disguise. And imagine the bandits who even have a group of Wizards as their companions compare to a small village like Genward. No one dares to fight.
They are like goats being led by wolves, where the bandits ask for money, food and women.
At this point, Sam stopped. He looked at Vesta with sadness, "Please sir, help us... at least please take our revenge ..." It is different from Jon, when a village chief begged, representing the village will and hope.
Vesta nodded in agreement with a grave expression and gestured for Sam to continue, "And Jon? "
