The knight's voice was low, and once he finished speaking, he fell silent.
But Erin was obviously not satisfied with that answer, and the Little Puppet chimed in anxiously, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Don't be cryptic. What's this about a pardon? And what horn are you talking about? Also, you haven't said how you ended up here..."
Hu Li stepped forward as well, speaking much more gently, "You mean the Kingdom sent people to take you back? Did you escape? Is that why you ended up here?"
"…Those were soul-less assassins, still carrying out long-abandoned orders. I was swept up in a storm along with them, and then a rift appeared in the storm... I don't understand what it was. After passing through the rift, I ended up here."
Yu Sheng began to frown as he listened; he immediately caught the key words in the knight's words—
Storm, rift!
