Inside the castle known as Einzbern, Illya and a certain little black dog had sensed the disturbances coming from afar.
But when Enkidu asked about it, Illya simply said, "Ignore it. Let them fight it out."
After all, the Einzbern Castle was in an extremely remote location. As long as they didn't make too much of a fuss, there shouldn't be any serious problems.
