The one with the Ironlake

The king's soldiers stopped close to the lord's mansion gate to offload the potions, their commander looked around with a worried face. His sharp eyes spotted a human tooth lying beside a rock in the corner with a few drops of blood.

"A fight happened here, get ready for a fight." The commander whispered to the other soldiers.

In the next moment, he grabbed two of his best soldiers and decided to head toward the Lord's office. Surprisingly, Ironlake's soldiers were nowhere to be seen, in their place was a bunch of pirate-looking ruffians going around.

No of the soldiers could bring it up as they saw the maids chat with the brutes with happy faces. Whatever they are, the common folk have already accepted them. There was another sense of familiarity around them.

After walking through the mansion unhinged, they reached the office and knocked on the door.

"This is the marine second division commander, we request meeting the lord."
