The intensity of the official propaganda campaign had quickly exceeded Aske's expectations.
The next morning, as Aske emerged from Fire Island, he heard noisy sounds from outside.
Although the barracks were theoretically divided among The Azure Longsword, City Guards, and Spartans, since the City Guards were stationed at the top floor 24 hours a day and the Spartans seemed to have their own dwelling, the large communal sleeping area outside remained empty, inhabited only by Hood.
And this young guy had disappeared early in the morning.
Today, Ellie, who was responsible for guarding the books in the room, was hugging the books and slept soundly, her brilliant blonde hair sprawling across the pillow as she muttered something about "protecting everyone" in her dreams.
Aske stared at her beautiful sleeping face, hmm, better not to disturb her.
