Inevitable meeting

"Murkato! Murkato!" her husband's voice. "Someone attacked the commoners!"

"What?" she opened the door.

"One of the nobles destroyed a farm in the Slums!"

"Bastard! Who was it?!"

"It was Gawain! Now Savine's people are outside the duke's castle making a fuss. They're demanding justice!"

"…"

The way he said it sounded odd to Murkato somehow. It didn't sound right.

"Those dogs! Who do they think they are to demand justice from us?"

'Yes… that's it!' Murkato finally got why.

It wasn't normal for commoners to demand justice from nobles. Their status was simply too low for that. Murkato, however, felt like they were entitled to something like that because they were under Savine's rule. However, they really weren't.

"You're right," she said. "Let's go see what the fuss is all about. Let's also pick up Gawain."
