The Lycan Mage of Almandine

AWOOOOOOOOOOO! RUFF! RUFF!

RUFF! RUFF!

Harriet turned toward the castle. She didn't know why but she felt very anxious all of a sudden.

When she heard the sound of howling and barking from the castle, she thought something wrong had happened because of the peculiar tone. So she asked Liam, who unusually didn't immediately translate it for her.

"What are they saying, Milord? You heard that too from the castle, right?" Harriet asked.

[Yes. Madam, I am sorry.]

Even Liam's tone was weird, making Harriet stop everything she was doing.

"What's wrong?"

[Your mother.] Liam said slowly, [They Lycan, who was following the Second Prince of Hyacinth, found your mother unconscious.]

[They couldn't find her heartbeat.]

"W-what do you mean? What happened to her?" Harriet's change in emotion alarmed everyone around her, including Orcenal.

[They found a trace of Sorcery. Two women... intruders, I assume, are found around her, decapitated...]

Harriet froze. Intruders?
