After the yesterday's events, Lady Red Leaf and Catrise had conjured a strong barrier around the entire estate of the noble family. It was designed to prevent anyone from entering and attempting to assassinate the prince. As for Louis, he had been utterly exhausted and fell unconscious the moment he reached home, sleeping until the next day. By then, his bandaged body had slowly recovered from the wounds and fatigue he had endured.
Despite everything that had happened, Louis's mind remained mostly clear and composed. He had already anticipated assassination attempts; they had occurred many times even in the capital. Especially during the period when he had decided to counsel the people there. From what he could recall, there had been a total of eight attempts, but all had failed. Those who tried to take his life were executed by his own sword. He showed no mercy to anyone who threatened him.
