at the moment he’s off in the eastern part of the Frontier on business, though he’s scheduled to be back within a day or two. Until then, perhaps it would be wisest to stay with Dr. Brosmen.”
    â€œIndeed. Let’s do that, then,” Miska said, assenting with the greatest of ease.
    No sooner had she entered the village of Krauhausen than all the strain of the battle up until now began to work against her. Though she was somewhat forlorn, the real reason she was taken in so quickly by the pair’s honeyed words was because she’d led the life of a princess. Normally having nothing but scorn for humanity, the Nobility didn’t believe they could be deceived by their inferiors, and thus were prone to being caught off guard. This was the fundamental reason why the humans had been able to rise en masse against them. And that was how Miska came to be separated from the baron. But there may have also been another reason, known only to her.
    -
    It was dusk when the white carriage arrived at Dr. Brosmen’s mansion—or just a little before. Claiming that the plains were dangerous, the pair urged her to make the trip at top speed. But in their hearts, they were motivated by the thought that the baron and D might make it through the flames. When the white carriage halted and its door opened, it wasn’t surprising that the two men gasped in astonishment. The pale beauty who stepped down was followed by a timid yet unmistakably human pair, and girls at that. They finally realized the other reason Miska had agreed to accompany them.
    â€œDo what you will with those two. It’s been a long journey.”
    And saying this, Miska entrusted the pair to Zanus before she began to leave with Sai Fung.
    â€œAs soon as I have any word on Taboo, I’ll get in touch with you, perhaps even as early as tonight,” Zanus called out to her.
    After going through a number of gates, they were passing through the garden when Sai Fung asked, “What’s on your mind?”
    â€œNothing,” Miska replied in a slightly irritated fashion.
    â€œThen forget I asked. I just thought that perhaps you might still be concerned about those two girls.”
    â€œDon’t be absurd. Why would I care?”
    â€œFirst of all, it’s rather unexpected to have a human come out of a Noble’s carriage. Even more so when it’s members of the fair sex coming from a Noblewoman’s vehicle. Lady Miska, I can’t help wondering if perhaps you’ve grown fond of those girls.”
    â€œSai Fung, spewing any more of that nonsense will be—unpardonable!”
    â€œYes, milady. Begging your forgiveness,” the man known as “Sai Fung of the Thousand Limbs” said, tensing as if from a jolt of electricity. That was the effect the Nobility had.
    â€œI was thinking that you might be a liar. Look. This garden is positively a shambles. And that tower up ahead of us is even worse. It’s like the lair where some sorcerer leers down at the world below. You’re not trying to mislead me, are you?”
    â€œNo—not on your life!” Sai Fung said, swinging a long hand in front of himself dismissively.
    Actually, the garden of this mansion he’d said even a Noble would find passable was truly desolate. Long ago, it must’ve been impressive in scale and elegance, but the shrubbery had died off, and the marble paths and fountains were so sadly blanketed in dead and rotting leaves you could make out the layer of humus. What’s more, there was an unpleasant miasma flowing from God-only-knew-where and the smell of chemicals, both of which assailed Miska’s far superior olfactory sense and repeatedly left her on the brink of gagging. This was clearly a place of egregious death and decay. And the symbol of that was the tower that menaced the heavens—the same structure that’d just stopped Miska in her tracks. No, having seen the gigantic tree that the
