Katarina was a huge problem. There was no doubt about that. Whether she had come here on her family's orders or had simply run away from home on a whim, it was all the same.
If she had been sent by the Vol Family, then sending a future heir—the family's little princess—was enough to show how seriously they took Landen. That meant there were definitely quite a few members of the Vol Family operating in his territory, which was the last thing Landen wanted to see.
Still, Landen would rather believe it was the latter. The Vol Family was a powerful force no weaker than the Isis Family. With such strength, if they only wanted to carry out some reconnaissance and sabotage missions, there was no need to send Katarina. She was a Battle Priestess, not someone trained in reconnaissance or assassination. Such missions were unsuitable for her in the first place. Besides, given her noble status, she would never be assigned such "dirty work." So, it was more likely that she had come here on her own. But that kind of trouble was no small matter either.
Once the Vol Family discovered that their precious little princess had gone missing, they would inevitably send a large number of people to search for her. With their strength and capabilities, it would not take long for them to find out that Katarina had come here. By then, the result would be much the same as in the first case: a large number of Vol Family members would enter the Yumaas Region. That would be just as troublesome.
What gave Landen the biggest headache was that even if he let Katarina leave now, it would already be too late. Traveling from the Yumaas Region to the Vol Family's largest city, Tissul City,
