CHAPTER 1165

We went to the guard house where Deurgo was being held

----------------------------------------

“Thank you, Leo.”

“Wuff-wuff!”

When we arrived in Ractos, I thanked Leo for carrying Tilura.

As she was now used to taking this journey, she was not tired at all.

“Bow?”

“Kyau!”

“There, there. Volgrau also followed the horses and ran all of this way. You did well too.”

While I was petting Leo, the wolf barked as if asking for attention as well.

Sherry had then whacked at his head with her paw as if to rebuke him, and so I warned her while petting Volgrau.

Apparently, Sherry did not think you deserved to be praised for running a little.

“Bow!”

“Kyu…”

“You did well too, Sherry.”

“Kyau!”

“Mr. Takumi, they are holding Deurgo in the guard house near the west gate.”

“I see.”

Claire said after talking to one of the guards.

The guard houses near the gates were simple buildings A place where suspicious people who entered the town could be questioned, and a place for guards to rest.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, let us go and see this Deurgo.”

Sebastian returned after leaving the carriage and horses.

Volgrau’s head drooped sadly. It was clear that he was not looking forward to this at all.

He had seemed interested at first, especially when Feri talked about the food. But now that we were actually going to break the contract, he was nervous and anxious.

“Lady Claire. We have been waiting for you.”

We entered the building and were greeted by a guard who bowed to us respectfully. Hmm? It was the same man I talked to when Deam was arrested.

I suppose he had a high position here.

Behind him, there were several other men who also bowed their heads.

“Yes. And how is Deurgo?”

“As he was not cooperating, we had to bind him. He has calmed down now, but keeps repeating something…saying it was the wolf’s fault.”

“I see. So he has talked about Volgrau? The wolf.”

“Indeed, we had to tell him of his crimes, which include the harming of a familiar.”

“I understand. Thank you.”

“And where is Deurgo now?”

“In the back room. We do not have any holding cells here…”

The guard answered Sebastian.

“Well, then Mr. Takumi and I…and Volgrau will go at once.”

“What? Not me, Sebastian?”

Claire looked at him in surprise.

“Lady Claire, you must be in the other room. It is likely that he will recognize you. Besides, it would be best that you stay away from such a man.”

Knowing that she was the daughter of a duke might make him defiant…

Well, I had no idea how he would react to her. Regardless, Sebastian seemed to want to keep such a violent figure away from her.

I couldn’t disagree with that.

“Very well… But I suppose I will be able to watch what is happening from the other room?”

“Yes! The room next to it was made so you can see what is happening on the other side!”

Claire nodded and agreed. But what did he mean about being able to watch from the other room…?
