Of course, without many people knowing, it wasn't just Mari who couldn't sleep that night. Would that be a good thing? Well, if their beloved young Maoh was having a good rest and not feeling worried about the kingdom's current affairs just yet, then it would be.

At the moment, that was the thought running in Conrad's mind as soon as he saw Mari leave her room and headed outside the castle almost inconspicuously. But considering her ability, it wasn't a surprise. At least, that was what he assumed. Or it could be that Mari was just a light walker — like a cat.

"Mother…" Conrad said, calling out to Lady Cherie for suddenly mentioning an unexpected name in front of the female Beast Knights.

But the blonde lady remained looking at a particular person even after she uttered that name. In fact, when the others followed the direction she was looking at, they were confused to see that Lady Cherie was looking at Mari. The said Wind Tiger Knight, in turn, tilted her head on one side as she pointed at herself.

"Why… are you calling me Lyall?" Mari asked, the innocent expression on her face became even more visible.

Beast Knights 16 - Late Night Arrival

It was already nighttime. Much to Yuri's worries, both Conrad and Mari hadn't arrived yet. The rest of Conrad's men had already returned to Blood Pledge Castle late in the afternoon after Mari declared that the inspection was done and they secured the villagers who were able to escape the attack.

But even with that, neither the soldier nor the female Beast Knight ever mentioned coming home late. And yet it seemed that both Rina and Chie weren't worried at all, if Yuri was to base it on their calm expressions. Even Murata said the same thing upon observing his mentor.

Yuri couldn't help pacing back and forth within his office where they all decided to wait for the two to arrive.

A sigh escaped Mari's lips as soon as she was done observing the last of the destroyed Phantasma's remnants in the area where the battle happened. Thankfully, none of the villagers in the area were injured as a human girl managed to warn them of the impending danger. And so they were able to escape in time.

"It seems that they have started causing more havoc near the capital, Knight Mari."

She turned to the source of that voice. She smiled upon seeing a young girl with long wavy brown hair and green eyes just a few meters behind her. The girl was smiling meekly as she approached her.

"Alice... What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your father right now?"

New Month, More Thoughts

It's a new month... and honestly, I have nothing much to write here. But this is better than writing my thoughts on Facebook. If I have to be honest, that site had become quite toxic for me. I don't know why... Or maybe I just refuse to know why. Then again, social media had become such a place lately, right? So for now, let me state my thoughts here. Not many people see this, I know. But there are some who would, whether they intend to or not.
