Wow, what power, let's hope he doesn't get carried away.
Achelsius and Paris secluded themselves from the rest, away from prying eyes and listening ears. The young man looked very bad and said nothing, instead, he looked at Achelsius with pleading eyes and didn't know what to say.
—I deeply regret your loss, Achelsius said sadly, referring to the old woman's death. Sometimes we have to lose the dearest and closest people with whom we have lived together for many years, and whose family ties have firmly bound our hearts. And I understand that at the moment, no words or advice can help to ease the mental pain that you are experiencing now. But you need to try to understand that death is sadness and regret only for us, ordinary people. Whether it is unexpected or long-awaited, for our souls it is an opportunity to be reborn and acquire a new, purer form, and to receive the long-awaited eternal peace and harmony. I am sure that Lady Greila lived a worthy and fulfilling life, and therefore the Mentor will undoubtedly elevate her above the heavens. And you, Paris, need to try to distract yourself a little from sad thoughts, because you have a soulmate and your whole future life ahead of you, don't you? - he looked intently at the young man, looking for an opportunity to continue the conversation in the right direction.
— Concise, — Abigail couldn't help but smile at the brevity of the answer, — however, I wouldn't mind hearing the details if it doesn't inconvenience you.
— Pilas is a very secluded place, hidden behind the mountains. There aren't many people there, and visitors don't come often either, and there are no usual rules of conduct. Shady people, mysterious organizations, duels to the death... The baron, because of whom all this started, is a bit unstable. They say he even left his twelve-year-old son in the mountains and forced him to survive there for four years, and there are all sorts of things in those mountains and caves — I think you remember.
because you have a soulmate and your whole future ahead of you, don't you? - he looked intently at the young man, looking for an opportunity to continue the conversation in the right direction.
— Regarding this, father... You promise that this conversation will remain between us?
Helmut gives the fighters a signal: - Mekriy hides at a distance from the house, in a sheltered spot; - Wigg stands near the window to have the maximum possible firing angle inside the house; - Huliy stands on one side of the door, so that if necessary, he can block an enemy rushing out; - Gale stands opposite the door with the same purpose, and also prepares to storm the house if necessary; They all do this without making noise and without being visible in the windows. Helmut stands on the other side of the door, first listens to the inside of the house, and then cautiously glances out of the window.
— Regarding this, father... You promise that this conversation will remain between us?
—Of course. —Achelsios assured him. —After all, that's why we come to church, to receive help with the most personal issues, without fear of judgment or publicity.

Inside the house, no members of the potential enemy squad or traps were noticed, but what they did notice were two sleeping girls chained to the floor.Heroist
"Of course," Ahelsiy assured him. "After all, that's why we come to the church, to get help with the most personal issues, without fear of judgment or publicity."
—I think... It seems to me... The poisoning was not an accident or a mistake, but was the work of Xamelonna... I may be wrong, and I want to be wrong! But I can't do anything about my suspicions.
— Indeed, it sounds like a place best avoided. Thank you for the detailed answer,” the girl said, pausing for a moment to consider something. “But is Liskyv or Midas worth a visit, or do they have their own peculiarities as well?
— I think... I believe... The poisoning wasn't an accident or a mistake, but the work of Xamelonna... I might be wrong, and I want to be wrong! But I can't do anything about my suspicions.
Achelsius was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment. —Not an accident? But... why? You were just preparing to celebrate your wedding, and Xamelonna herself made a quite positive impression on me as a decent girl who wanted to formalize your union as soon as possible. May I ask about the reasons for this suspicion? Did something happen between you? I can't imagine such thoughts coming to mind on their own, in a happy relationship.
— Indeed, it sounds like a place best avoided. Thank you for the detailed answer,” the girl pondered something for a moment. “As for Liskiv or Midas, are they worth visiting, or do they have their own peculiarities as well?
— I haven’t been to Midas, but Liskiv is full of thieves. Heroist
Achelsiy was so surprised that he was momentarily speechless. —Was it not by chance? But... why? After all, you were preparing to celebrate your wedding, and Xamelonna herself made a rather positive impression on me as a decent girl who wanted to formalize your union as soon as possible. May I ask about the reasons for this suspicion? Did something happen between you? I can’t imagine such thoughts coming to mind on their own, in a happy relationship.
— After your visit, they had a very serious argument and exchanged the most unpleasant comments about each other. And then, after that, this happened... Father, but... Greila was a master toxicologist, and, of course, we had and still have many poisonous substances at home, but I can’t imagine that she could have poisoned herself. Xamelonna joked that she might have simply not washed her hands after her alchemy lessons, but... I can’t believe it. Morning
Helmut signals the soldiers to remain alert, and he cautiously enters the house and inspects the premises.
In the house, the squad finds barely cooled food, clothes, and a bucket of excrement near the captives, and Gale discovers a hidden stash, conveniently located behind the floorboards. — Oops, what did I find here. There were 3322 bronze coins and 175 silver coins, probably what the bandits had looted over these months.
Having finished his urgent tasks, he tried to wake the girls.
The first thing reflected on their faces after waking up was surprise. The elder had bloodshot eyes and a couple of bruises on her face, and the younger had a scar running across her nose and right cheek. Coming to her senses, the elder recoiled as much as the chain allowed and stared fearfully at the unfamiliar faces. The younger, in comparison to her, did not show any noticeable emotions and simply asked, "Who are you?".
