After nearly a week of scorching sun, Kenke Town finally welcomed the first rain of July.
Lightning danced wildly, piercing the dense dark clouds.
With a crackle and a clattering sound, rain came pouring down.
Residents and soldiers in the town hastily donned their hoods or ran under eaves to shelter from the rain.
Outside the town, a camp nearly as large as Kenke Town stood beside the King's Path, where pasture once lay.
The camp was built from wood, and the tallest structure was the three-story wooden building at its center.
The hazy rain transformed into fog, enveloping the whole camp, with even the rain drifting through the windows into the three-story building.
Count Alaric of Iron Forest Castle, or rather Duke Alaric, reached out to close the window that swung back and forth.
A few days ago, he had just been conferred the title of duke, and Ginijis transferred several vassals to him.
