"....is Chanotte captured by the commander?"

"!! how do you know?" He suprised

"i see...then it's already started"

"so this is what he meant by...." Chorin mumbled

"how can i call you?"

"ah, where's my manner. I'm the vice chief of king's guard, Chorin Phallantine" He introduced himself

"I'm Yana, this is Shanti, and that's Ragha"

"sir Yana, I'm told by sir Chanotte to go to this bar when there's something happened to him"

"yes, tho i don't think it would be this soon"

He sat beside Chorin and asked him.

"so, do you think he's being in the prison right now? or any secret place?"

"....i think he will be in the prison. Our commander had announced about sir Chanotte's treason and wanted to put him in trials"

"hmm, so he will go that far. Guess we must move as soon as possible"

"wait a minute sir Yana! why suddenly sir Chanotte become a traitor?!" Shanti suprised

"two reason. First, he was back without those one hundred soldiers. The only possibility is he running away from the enemy base and the second, he brought us in to this town"

"sir Chanotte already know the consequences?"

"of course"

"then....why he agreed to do this? he can just stay at our village...."

"because he has something to settle with this commander, and don't worry, we will help him"

"let's do that sir Yana!"

"I'm agree. He can't die that easily...not after killed my father" Ragha followed

"then, we need to prepare several things"

"is there anything that i can help?"

"of course Chorin, in fact, i will need lot of your help"

"leave it to me!"

"then let me ask you some questions first"

"sure, go ahead"

"how far you can command the soldiers? can you do something in this state?"

"..... I'm ashamed to admit that, but since sir Chanotte was captured, I'm also under supervision of commander's men.... it's really depend on what're you asking"

"let's see, how about making some of guards leave their post for a while? can you do that?"

"...yes, somehow I'll manage it"

"good. Then, can i have the blueprint or map for the fort layout?"

"sure. I have it at our room, tho it will be very hard for me to bring it out"

"don't worry, Ragha will come with you, he can sneak in from the window or something"

"can he do that? our room is in the third floor"

"that would be no problem" Ragha replied

"well....then"

"i will need that map for the plan, so we will wait here"

"understood. Then I'll get the map now"

Chorin left the bar and Ragha also followed him. Yana called him before he left the bar.

"listen Ragha...." He whispered

"... understood savior" Ragha nodded

Then he left the bar while Shanti couldn't grasp the situation.

"what did you tell to Ragha, sir Yana?"

"something that will help us tonight. Shanti, i need you to go to Pan and tell her that we will have lunch there"

"ah, understood. I'll go now"

Shanti left the bar and now only Yana and the barkeeper remained at the place.

".... Chanotte, how can he become a traitor? i don't think that's possible"

"really? then you know him very well?"

"of course. I'm his father friend. I'm used to live in the capital, then moved here with my wife to open this bar"

"i see...Then, can i assume you're on Chanotte's side?"

"....what do you mean sir?"

"i mean....you will take a risk to save him when it's needed" He stared at him

"why do you sound like there's no one that you can count for that?"

"I'm glad you understand" Yana smiled

The barkeeper looked at him and gave this serious looks.

"tell me, is Chanotte being accused here?"

"what do you think? i thought you believed him"

"...i do. He's not a coward who will run away from his enemy nor a pathetic man who will betray his kind"

"ahaha, yes. He definitely won't do that"

"so that's mean....."

"our enemy will be the commander and his entire soldiers...do you still want to help him?"

"I'm gladly give this life for paying my debt to Chanotte's family"

"hm, good then. There are two things that you can do to help him"

He gave a signal to come closer and the barkeeper did that. He whispered to him.

"...what? i don't understand.....how it's going to help?!"

"just leave it to me"

"...fine. But make sure you're going to help him"

"you can count me on that matter" He smiled
