When Reiner took Peggy out of the woods, there was no living person there. They had all turned into natural fertilizer.
This area might stink for the next few months. In view of what happened, Reiner has temporarily decided not to let Peggy and the others come here again.
If Peggy hadn't been wearing the magic stone dagger, she might have died here.
This time when she returns home, she plans to popularize the emergency device among her wives.
Reiner used wind magic to lift the bodies of several demihuman guards and returned to them. He asked Peggy, "Are you still okay? Are you hurt?"
He placed several corpses on the ground. The plate armor on these demi-humans was cracked and they had many wounds. It seemed that they had experienced a bloody battle to protect Peggy.
Peggy shook her head: "It's just a fall, but it's nothing serious."
Reiner looked at Peggy's slightly bulging belly and took a deep breath. "Just rest at home for a while and put the trade aside for now."
Paige nodded vigorously.
Reiner looked at the rabbit demihuman again: "What about you? Are you still okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I was lucky enough to only suffer a minor injury, which is nothing." She looked down at the corpses and rubbed her eyes. "I hope they are not so lucky..."
Reiner put the bodies into the storage space and said softly: "They are all outstanding warriors of the kingdom and will be properly buried.
You guys should go back and rest first. Peggy and I still have some things to deal with. No one who needs to be killed will escape."
"Your Majesty, it must be that merchant from Horeth who betrayed us. He didn't reach an agreement with Lady Peggy on a business deal some time ago. The lord of Melode prefers to do business with us, and he holds a grudge against us..."
This rabbit-like demihuman chattered on and on as if he was complaining.
It can be seen that she has a lot of resentment towards the businessman from Horez.
Peggy patted her shoulder and said softly, "Elise, go back and rest first. Remember to bandage your arm. Thank you for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, I might have been caught. His Majesty and I will take care of the rest. As he said, no one who deserves to be killed will escape."
The rabbit demihuman scratched his ear and said, "Well, Your Majesty, Lady Peggy, we will go back first."
The demihuman guards retreated one by one, and before leaving, they did not forget to tow the truck away.
Reiner looked at Peggy beside him and touched her cheek. "We chose this place together. It's quite secretive, and only a few people know about it. They should have an insider in the Melode Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Peggy shook the dirt off her ears and replied softly, "Of course, their goal is very clear. They want to catch me and threaten you."
Reiner frowned slightly.
He was already worried about letting his wives run around outside, and now he was even more worried.
"You're in charge of everything here. Do you suspect anyone? For example, that Horace she just mentioned."
"Yes, after all, there are only a few people who are in contact with us, so it's easy to guess." Peggy leaned gently in Reiner's arms, lowered her head and whispered, "Horace is possible. After all, this is a business, and the bigger the business, the more people you offend."
