All the Way North

When Duanmu Huai returned to the fortress, the first thing he saw was Yargard's slightly helpless expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Royal Sister left."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai took the Rosary Beads from inside his robes.

"Inquisitor Mr.? Isn't this..."

"You've used it before, so you
