So I'm a sheep.

"My lord, what should we do with those who are injured?"

After taking a big gulp of wine, someone asked in a muffled voice.

"Those who have homes have been sent home, and those who don't have homes have been settled in."

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Camilla suppressed her charming smile and said in a deep voice, "The Marquis's mansion provides living expenses to those warriors every month; they would never abandon them!"

Hearing this, the atmosphere at the banquet finally eased somewhat.

"The Marquis is truly kind-hearted!"

“There are few nobles as kind as you in the kingdom.”

There are still people praising Camilla, but there are significantly fewer than before.

"Your Excellency Marquis"

At this moment, Sasha frowned and said, "The casualties from a direct confrontation with giants are simply too great."

"I suggest we follow your old method and wait until they are sound asleep before taking action."

"Not bad!"

"I agree with Her Excellency Saliye."

"It would be best to wait until they are sound asleep before making a move... In fact, this suggestion should have been made by Lady Camilla long ago."

The man speaking was drunk and his eyes were blurry. He looked at Camilla and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.

.........................................

You are a high-ranking noble who rallies everyone to eliminate the giants, and you also have extensive combat experience.

Why didn't they make a thorough plan beforehand, instead of just watching us go to our deaths!

How dare you question Lady Camilla?

"Yeah, yeah, that's outrageous!"

The sporadic accusations caused Camilla's expression to change slightly, because the vast majority of people remained silent, simply staring at her.

"It was my oversight."

The Marquis said with guilt and pain, "I thought things would go smoothly if everyone cooperated with Lady Saliye, but..."

Camilla started shifting blame, her explanations weak and unconvincing.

Sasha is indeed a veteran, but she doesn't have enough prestige to make the warriors cooperate willingly!

If Camilla really wanted everyone to cooperate with her, she should have brought it up in public long ago, instead of just 'taking it for granted'!

The victory celebration ended badly, and the next day, most of the warriors left the Marquis's mansion.

They thought Marquis Camilla was unreliable, even somewhat sinister.

A fiefdom is desirable, but you need to be alive to claim it, right?

"Still thinking about what happened at yesterday's banquet?"

"kindness"

Sasha rested her head on her arms, looking utterly bewildered: "Ankang, do you think Camilla is really that carefree, or is she doing this on purpose?"

"I couldn't resist and got greedy."

The girl immediately sat up in bed: "What do you mean? Explain it clearly!"

"..."

Ankang blew bubbles and remained silent for a moment.

"Friend, we should be friends now, right? Anyway, I consider you a friend."

"Don't keep anything to yourself, just tell me. I won't tell anyone else."

"You swear?"

"I hate making oaths!"

"Never mind then."

Sasha glared at Ankang, who glared back with dead fish eyes.

Finally, the girl gave up: "Okay, okay, I'll send it, I'll send it!"

"If you blabber on and tell everyone the secret you told me, I'll drown when I go swimming in the future!"

Without taking offense at the young woman's oath and leaving herself some leeway, An Kang said in a deep voice, "Friend, don't blame me for making a mountain out of a molehill, it's just that..."

"Hey, it's not your fault, it's really not your fault! Just tell me already," Sasha urged.

"You know that the soul of a giant is a great tonic for wizards."

"kindness"

"Giants are powerful, intelligent beings, aren't they?"

"Barely enough"

If strength is a stretch, then wisdom is even more of a stretch.

"So, the scope can be expanded a little bit, you know what I mean?" An Kang said vaguely.

Ok?

Sasha was stunned for a moment, then gasped.

"Ankang, don't tell me you're actually the big villain!"

"No, I didn't! I'm a good wizard!"

An Kang quickly replied, "In my time, we killed any anti-human wizard we found."

"It cannot be denied that a very small number of wizards have crossed the line and committed suicide, but the vast majority of wizards adhere to principles."

.......................................

"Stand by your principles? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

There are only a few wizards who truly adhere to principles; it would be strange if most wizards didn't get tempted and act on it!

An Kang gave an awkward laugh, then quickly added, "Okay, besides principles and bottom lines, there are also objective constraints involved."

"The souls of giants are pure, while the souls of human powerhouses are far too complex."

"Using a giant's soul isn't a big deal; at most, you'll have a few nightmares at night."

"But what if a human soul is used..."

"What will happen?" Sasha quickly asked.

"At best, it can cause memory confusion; at worst, it can lead to personality disorder!"

An Kang sneered, "Camilla must be a lucky one who received the wizarding inheritance, rather than coming from a wizarding family, otherwise she would know about such a taboo."

"..."

"So she's developing a split personality?"

“I counted, Camilla devoured the souls of three powerful humans last time.”

"After all, he's a white-robed man. He's unlikely to have a split personality, but he's definitely experiencing memory confusion."

An Kang reassured him, "Don't worry, she won't dare to make a move on you now."

"She even tried to make a move on me?!" Sasha was furious.

"I have hit her. There were a few times when the way she looked at you was strange."

"Why didn't you remind me!"

"I... I'm not entirely sure either."

An Kang said weakly, "What if she has taken a liking to you? There are so many quirks among nobles, you never know."

Sasha's face darkened. What nobleman, especially a female nobleman, would want to be interested in a country bumpkin like her?

'This fish has evil thoughts; my sister needs to teach him a lesson later.'

“Ankang, I have an older sister.”

"You said that before, what happened?"

"She's always worried that I don't have any friends. If it's convenient, I'd like to introduce you to her."

The girl lowered her head shyly: "Don't laugh at me, I never expected that my first friend (not really) would be a fish."

An Kang was deeply moved, and tears streamed down his face.

"I had very few friends when I was still human, and I have even fewer now that I've become a fish!"

"I never expected this..."

"Thank you for not minding. Let's be best friends for life!"

.......................................

Logically, once so many warriors returned and spread the word about Camilla's unreliability, the number of people heading to Danlu City should have decreased significantly.

But what Sasha had anticipated did not happen. In just over half a month, the Marquis's mansion was packed again!

"What's so strange about that? Camilla must have cursed those people to death."

"Hiss~ What a vicious woman!"

“What’s this little thing to someone who would harm the entire race for their own selfish desires?” An Kang seemed very dismissive.

"..."

"If Camilla keeps reaping the rewards, will you still be able to successfully ambush her then?"

Sasha said worriedly, "Why don't we start now?"

"I, An Kang, the dignified Speaker in colorful robes, can't even handle a junior in white robes?"
