Wheat Incident

"I am going to make a mess here. They all must be out of the house soon," I explained, whispering.

Anya nodded. She did not ask any further about what I meant. I assume she understands.

"When that happens, you quickly find your sword, take it, and meet me on the hill," I continued.

"I understand. Be careful," Anya replied, holding my hand just before I headed towards the centre of the village.

While tightening the grip on my spear and torch of fire, I started to stride intensely through the village's main road to start my plan.

At first, I was aiming for people's houses to be burned down, but it is unethical to hurt people just for the plan's success. Therefore, I decided to look for a grain barn and start the chaos from there.

Now and then, I glanced behind me, seeing Anya standing in front of the house. I had to hurry. I did not want the woman to wait too long to put herself at risk.
