She felt uneasy with the situation, and yet her mind went back to the one place she hadn't thought about for a long time.
"Do you think the capital might be under attack too?"
Damien frowned. His thoughts were still on putting the pieces he had gathered together.
"Huh?"
Audrey frowned at him. "Are you still thinking of the piece of cloth?"
"No. What were you saying?"
Now that Audrey could speak easily in front of her, he was discovering that she was talkative.
"I said, do you think the capital must have been attacked too?"
Damien thought about it for a bit.
"I don't think so. Most of the people living in the capital are nobles. They have a way of guarding themselves against the monsters. I'm sure they would be able to prevent the monsters from infiltrating the palace. I wouldn't be worried about them."
He waved his hand.
Audrey stared at him.
