The mercenary group 7be7e145e0 ‘Black’ watched Evgenia’s 9df8a41cfe retreating figure with 6d0491ab2c strange expressions, unable b9ee9d5aff to voice further 4400807fd4 objections.50ddee3d92e4c7fe

However, as soon as 72c9f17279 Evgenia completely disappeared from 6f9d9bfe6d view, a sharp gleam 546b09f947 appeared in the mercenaries’ 5bc7d6e174 eyes.eb444b3a13494fcf

They had hidden bf566e3426 their true selves 361e04e84b from their master, 2a3f8081f0 but now they 0f725a0ed5 revealed their real 453c6c070b nature, observing Euclid 62d4a9600f with sharp gazes.efe09e39c9bf8b86

Since he was chosen 40356ac5af by their master, they 0a99979c81 were determined to remain 069ce6494f loyal to her, regardless e6dd68b67f of the reason, as bb9c6ea28c long as he did 00b1c7a11e not go against their bc530492a3 master’s will.d0dc26652270c671

However, since this was their 6d42f45eb4 first meeting, they wanted to 6c78e55f23 observe her closely.b6133e44d247b0f5

As they felt through a6cb4be02e her tone, expressions, and c72f8706d0 actions, their master’s insight 7777e59b10 had not failed them, f52aece090 and they collectively felt 913ce692d4 relieved.9bc9b215b474ae3b

When I become 1ad612d7c7 a master… If db55308d77 I pass Evgenia’s e71c910d32 test, I thought c86f87bac5 I’d see her 8731244cd8 again. But I never imagined I’d 5be189a32c end up joining a noble 7f05cf0340 knight order like this.6add9d25c615441f

He didn’t reveal his bae722c846 full strength but performed 5a2d8407d5 well enough to pass 82ac070124 without issue.048bc14333546be4

As a result, b5969e9bd2 every single member c33e317929 of the mercenary 1af611993f group ‘Black’ passed 4c7761b45d the first test, 5fab9fd74c and the procedure ae724e6be9 to verify their 0752e96705 identities began in 7f293a81e6 Euclid’s office.c59ea581eef67340

Delano, who arrived late after f4f1b9522c spending the entire day handling 3a7198a8b1 funds with the ‘Gold’ trading 37cb6a20b5 company, was initially overjoyed to 8d31be807d hear that everyone had passed. But upon reviewing 809098cd07 the personal information 3a01ebcfec documents, he sank 17f441fdbb into deep despair.f3f5fec71f59427d

“Th-This… Is this right? This feels less like a d3759c3f66 knight order and more like 0fc9391bea a gang of ruffians!”6199443342d3b601

Though mercenaries often lived rough 30b53cb848 lives, most of them came 0178cf0b43 from slums, fallen nations, or bda4a9b57e had criminal records involving theft 3b0373875f and embezzlement. Their lives had been d8494ad38d marred by hardship and 691dc856bc crime.cbb06c3963bab28a

Even Delano, who had 1f9d99ba6c already made up his 91e84dc356 mind to accept non-northerners ecdfdeedee into the ducal family, 8a4b2313fa found the list troubling.2802fcc29f50ad6b

Curiosity and repulsion about a 6bfc4923a4 person from such a different d61c43ed1d world washed over Delano as aa9f99eb70 he asked cautiously, “Your Grace, 2261e6d419 have you confirmed whether the 02da45cd66 slave mark was truly removed?”ce7fbaf70c0b9ce5

Euclid recalled the pink-haired 7288afee5a man who had looked d2190bc5a0 at him with sharp c62bf9d6ca hostility, the only one 2031d9bc48 among the otherwise unusually 3af26f2d5e friendly group, and nodded.5cb3f420fcc23902

“Yes. There was a large ef56758db7 scar on the back f1670fd81b of his left hand f5d5a65f87 where the mark had 168354a5d1 been erased.”4d5979c9378d9e2b

Delano, who had a700c3d00c never seen a 2dfbd3f2cd slave mark before, 1a8c0c2a9c rebuked himself for 129d9a385f feeling strangely regretful e5bf4c00c3 and replied, “It 808f358f57 seems he had d85692c92d a good master. I heard that slave 15a9efb670 marks remain even after 460b71b62a being burned unless special 1e14ac0b1c tools are used to 75ea44e25b remove them.”2d835bb38429d58a

Considering that the d115a45a14 man had been ca717859a1 freed and still 1f3ca9bf5c ended up in fccc77c06a a mercenary group, e6d9e74901 it was clear 217d2fc3bf he had been 2f08a86af3 released as a e255c4fef0 free man.ec99fa011734faea

Euclid made a subtle 47af50a678 expression at Delano’s admiration.d47eac76979cb44f

At that moment, one of 2eaf1f35ee the rumors Delano had muttered d5212283d0 disapprovingly before Evgenia’s marriage resurfaced 013b279362 in his mind.4278ba7724db1c28

It was just 4d49a973c3 an unreliable hunch, 9257e48043 but Euclid felt e957ed0b30 a strange certainty.58fa337294151ed4

I intentionally entrusted the crucial 2a1e9d44f8 task of reviewing the dowry e74751cdd1 list and negotiating the assigned 56d84ad7ab amount to Delano and the 1d3efe479d butler. Even when Gold’s deputy mentioned 74dde40d88 wanting to meet me under 15410c8b5a the pretext of presenting the a7dfbfb95b new shoes they had ordered, 4711cfa2eb I flat-out refused, telling them c23b6ce2ab to just leave the shoes 9b42b9b021 and skip the pleasantries.9f32b4b9a21bb3f1
