Thinking about it, I had felt something strange from the very beginning.
If the secret agents were supposed to not reveal their presence or appearance, they should have quietly surrounded me.
If my guesses or speculations were needed, they should have been a step ahead every time I moved.
There was no need at all to contact me or build any connection.
Moreover, they deliberately revealed that they were subordinates of the King and even used contract magic…
I met Sharle and the others right before I was drafted into war, during the chaotic period when many people entered and left the capital.
Although it was a memory from when I hadn't yet been reborn as Raide, from my perspective—having inherited both memories and emotions—Raide at that time was still me.
Even if he had already been reborn, I was confident I would have taken the exact same action.
The Sharle group, who lived in the nearby forest, had been caught by humans and pursued.
