Master Neil fell asleep holding the maid.
After the knocks subsided, Basil was just about to shout again.
A cold and impatient voice came from behind the double wooden doors.
"Who?"
"Don't you know, I hate being disturbed when I'm resting?"
Gerard's heart sank, just as he had guessed.
But Basil didn't hesitate at all and immediately spoke.
"Master, something terrible has happened."
"About ten minutes ago, during our patrol, we saw a large group of cavalry heading towards your manor residence."
"We estimate the cavalry's numbers to be at least over two thousand."
Upon hearing this, Gerard's eyes widened instantly.
Over two thousand cavalry?
Are you kidding?
The entire town of Alba doesn't even have two thousand horses!
Perhaps Master Neil heard Basil's words clearly, the bedroom fell silent.
After a while.
A heavy footstep sounded behind the double wooden doors.
Crack~ Clatter~
After a brief noise, the tightly closed wooden doors were pulled open.
