Lynn quietly looked at Hill.
Hill could only return an innocent smile to his friend.
Although he didn't openly say that he also preferred the territory's people not to believe in Lansendel, his choices made it very clear... Hill genuinely felt uneasy about the Lord of Dawn.
There's nothing he could do; Lansendel's enthusiasm and naivety were too enticing for young people... It seemed as if just by following that spirited Lord of Dawn, one could also have a bright future.
He initially only planned to have Marsha command puppets to handle these passing merchant caravans... Unexpectedly, Lynn's first reaction was to deploy the Defense Force.
Hill had no objections to that.
He knew that deep down, he had a bit of disdain for these part-time robbers disguised as merchant caravans, which is why he hadn't considered their first reaction to seeing the puppets wouldn't be the lord's strength but to first calculate the puppets' value.
