Never did everyone in the village could imagine what would have happened to the house of their commoners' friend - Victor. He's one of the responsible people there. He’s everyone's friend and companion. No one would have held a grudge against him in the village so everyone was confused, hurt, and pained about what had happened to him and his family. They can feel his loss that greatly affected the whole village regarding that he’s one of the good people they’ve all known in their lives.

He went there until the knights had left the burned house and set their feet a meter outside of it continuing to bow in front of him.After walking out of the burned house, he immediately looked at the small book inside his pocket containing all the information about the commoners living inside the village.

The knights in our duchy were so easy to manipulate. Not minding some cat's noiseDamon thought while walking ahead to town with his long brown coat he put on earlierNever did he know that he was being observed by the shadow knights of the dukeSome of the shadow knights were assigned to spy on him reporting back what he's been doingUnless Damon knew he was being watched and decided to escape from their grasps but for the moment, he's still in the dark about itDuring his walk, he was mesmerized at how beautiful the surrounding is with the leaves of the cherry blossoms falling to places having sun's rays all overHe felt nostalgia after watching such gentle scenery for the second time after getting out of Maxwell's householdThis was the second time I've watched cherry blossoms' leaves falling like they are pieces into place
