Beric searched for Yeon Jin. First, he went to the fountain where he had left him but he was not there and so he followed his scent.
It led deep into the woods. He saw a few dead bodies but none of them were Yeon Jin's. He couldn't stop worrying though, the trail of dead bodies extended deep into the woods and it looked like they were an endless number of these assassins.
"How many?" He grunted and punched the tree. "Just how many assassins were sent to attack you while I was away?"
All he did was listen to that damn Emperor and dance with the Marquis' daughter because he didn't want to drag Yeon Jin back to the ballroom.
He should've just declined both and gotten back to Yeon Jin. Who knows? This might've been his scheme as well.
What… just what was this feeling of restlessness he was feeling?
Beric kept searching and deep into the woods, he started hearing the clashing of metals. It seemed there were two people fighting in the distance.
