It was already mid-August, and the weather had started becoming slightly chilly.
The people could be seen wearing light cardigans and turtlenecks, as they strutted the streets busily.
Within the Upper region..... specifically within District C, Lucy was currently heading towards the Caronian Embassy to see ambassador Victor.
She had a scheduled appointnt there, and couldn’t afford to be late.
.
It had just been a day ever since Landon took off for his mission... and now, Lucy was left to take charge again.
A few days back.... Queen Penelope, Landon and herself had briefly spoken about certain state matters which concerned Baymard and Carona.
And with the first 4-month sester training for those Caronian soldiers almost nearing its end..... so queen Penelope felt like she had to quickly settle down so matters before she left 2 weeks from now.
Hence she had imdiately spoken to Lucy and Landon about a certain ’List’.
.
One should rember that the Caronian barracks had 3 main sesters.
??January - April (winter sester)
??May - August (Sumr sester)
??u0026 September - December (Fall sester)
In a year, each soldier was given the choice of choosing at least 2 of the sesters.... before heading back to Carona for the long holidays.
So the Caronian soldiers that had co during the month of May..... would leave on 5he last day of August.
So of them could choose to remain for the next sester with a 2-week break before it began.
Or they could just go ho and co back in January instead.
Of course, since day 1, they had already registered for the next sester... so everyone knew whether they would be going back at the end of the month or not.
As for Penelope who was queen, she had this was probably the only ti that she would co for this training.... as she just wanted to ensure that it would benefit her soldiers or not.
And coupled with the fact that she was actually queen, of course, she had to go back at the end of it all.
.
Anyway.... for the eting just now, Penelope couldn’t make it because she was currently undergoing her final examinations.
In essence, the examination took place for about 12 days this August.
And typically, within another 7 days after finishing their examinations... that is by the end of the month before they left, they would get their report cards and rankings.
Hence with Penelope occupied, Lucy and ambassador Victor and Lucius were the only main figures who were currently going for this eting about ’THE LIST’.
.
"Ahh.... welco princess!" Ambassador Victor said while walking towards Lucy warmly.
Within these past 4 months of staying in Baymard, he had grown quite accustod to life here..... as well as the people.
So in no ti, he had already beco very familiar with this cute Baymardian princess.
Granted, he still missed Carona every now and then.... but of course, his holiday period had gravely made up for it.
One should know that the embassy only opened up from Mondays to Fridays... so the weekends were automatically given to him as resting days.
And coupled with that, after every 2 months.... he was given a 2-week holiday to go back to Carona, of course, he was not satisfied with working here as an ambassador.
.
He had already moved his family over here, as he wanted to see his wife everyday.
And as for his children, they were all already grown, with so of them married.
So if they wanted to see him, of course, they could co over at any ti.
With all this in mind, he truly felt like this ambassador job was truly worth it.
Sure... it was a busy job, as he and his staff always a massive pile of paperwork and jobs to do
But the pay, the ti off, and the feeling of contributing to both Carona and Baymard.... truly made it worth it!
.
Lucy walked into the room and noticed Lucius and ambassador Victor there already.
Oh no!
Was she late?
Did they wait too long?
Very quickly, she swiftly looked at her watch and secretly sighed from relief.
[ 9:51 A.M ]
’Phew!’
She wasn’t late, as the eting was scheduled to start at 10 A.M and not now.
After taking a seat, her secretary behind her hastily placed a few docunts on her table..... and in no ti, the eting had begun.
.
10:15 A.M
They had already dived right into the matters concerning the list with great concern.
And what exactly was this list?
Well, it was a list..... that was filled with all the dangerous criminals who would be transferred from Carona to Baymard soon.
In other words, those other 7 spies who were now chilling within the prison cells.... would soon have more friends to play with, while staying there.
.
"Alright!... now, that we’ve gone through the specifics of prisoner arrival and Transportation.... it’s ti to get down into the specifics of who these prisoners actually are.
Amongst the group of prisoners who would be transferred here..... 93 of them aren’t that dangerous and wouldn’t need to be separated from the other inmates.
But as for the remaining 4.... it’s best if I explain their stories to you instead.
First off, we have Rigoro Mandain.... popularly known as ’Mad Rigo’." Ambassador Victor said while opening up his plastic bottle of water.
Lucy and Lucius... as well as their secretaries, had their ears perked upwards in curiosity.
.
"So what’s the deal with him?" Lucius asked.
"Hmmm... his case is sothing that none of us had ever seen in our lives.
At the age of 5, Rigoro’s family was murdered mysteriously.
Everyone looked at him pitifully, as he soon beca quiet and distant.
In his village, they all took pity of him and tried their best to feed him and nurture him well.
You see, the people were all simple-minded villagers, who only saw a helpless 5-year-old in need.
But sohow, everyone who had once offered anything to him, also mysteriously died as well.
At first, the people all thought that he was cursed.
But one day... a group of village hunters who were on their way back, soon spotted Rigoro killing an elderly woman from their village.
The look that Rigoro gave them, was sothing that those villagers would never forget in their lives.
His cold eyes bead out brightly from amidst all the blood smothered on his face..... and the smile....
The smile he gave out imdiately sent chills down their spines, as they watched the little 5-year-old boy play with the sharp blade in his hands..... while approaching them.
In short, only 2 out of 6 hunters had safely arrived back at the village to tell the tale.
.
From then on, Rigoro fled the village and continued his killing spree while growing steadily.
We had been chasing him down for quite so ti in Carona, and it was only 2 years ago, that we successfully caught Rigoro.... who was now 19 years old.
And even at that, we have been struggling to keep him under wraps, as he has broken out a total of 9 tis.... and has successfully killed more than 40 prison guards while being locked up.
And when we asked him why he killed, his reply had left many of the officers scared silly.
He said it was a hobby!"
"_"
Lucy and Lucius opened their eyes widely, as they listened to the story of this new inmate.
Rigoro Mandain..... What a mad man!!
