Five nights ago.
The height of the darkness was conveniently taken advantage of by dozens of men, as they covertly sneak inside the Vesala Estate.
Going through the secluded passageways, the mysterious men assembled one by one. There seemed to be an unspoken rule to convene into certain groups despite not saying a single word.
After some time, Duke Vesala and the dark knights Visam, Das, and Orel appeared at the center of the rendezvous area with flat expressions on their faces.
Upon seeing the Duke, the men all knelt and saluted respectfully, "We greet Master!"
Duke Vesala nodded perfunctorily. Without delaying any further he gestured at the three knights to reorganize Hasta and Igor's platoon before finally announcing his orders.
