"That man with the harpy was gathering information around nearby lodgings. One of the birds came flying down to him with a letter from his wife. Saying that she stopped at a village to rest and found out that this happened around a week ago."
A week ago? You were still traveling with Farnese by then. Seems like this is old news that wouldn't be spreading around places where political figures aren't there to benefit and govern knowing said information.
"Is the monster still alive? How did he look like? It could be a random Kushan commanding a Pishacha for all we know!" You ask him if his source is aware of the monster's appearance.
"He was last seen running with a few troops outside the castle, all soldiers who tried to stop them were also killed with ease. He appeared to resemble a four legged bear!"
No doubt about it then, unless Zodd can be in two places at once while also being a shapeshifter, that was definitely Barnham's doing.
"The apostles are so strong that they can just ignore all and any human forces...?" Farnese can't believe the news, incredulous that their power and dominance over the physical realm knows no boundaries.
"What of Princess Charlotte? Did he kill the successor to the kingdom as well?"
"This is the part all are struggling to understand. After barging through all the doors looking for the princess, he roared loud enough that everyone outside the outer wallls could hear, only to run all the way back to the front gates and flee."
"Flee? For what reason would he do that? If he killed the king, surely he would go after the princess."
"That's what everyone thought, but something must have prevented him from acting on his wishes."
If Femto is still fixated on his dream of having a kingdom all for himself, it's possible he intervened in some form or another so he could still marry Charlotte and become the new king. If Griffith flew away right after being born, there is only one direction he could be headed to...
"Piece of shit..." You curse at Griffith for being able to wrap an empowered Barnham without so much as appearing to his side, but seeing what the other members could do to you, that's child's play in comparison to taking care of an apostle of his creation.
"In other news, we also have the results for the group who was looking for Serpico and Jerome..."
Farnese's doesn't know wether to pay attention, or cover her ears.
>Let her hear the news.>Speak to the soldier in private.
