Chapter 210

To the Commoners’ District
The Lumite Grand Wing, loaded with relief supplies from the Darshe Principality, was moving through the noble district, led by the Darche army.
Yes, it was packed.
Although I thought filling two carriages would be enough, Lord Sazaby decided to take this as an excellent opportunity to deliver as many relief supplies as possible, filling the Lumite Grand Wing to the brim.
As a result, the Lumite Grand Wing was heavy.
It wasn't just light food; it also carried heavier items like portable stoves, pots, and water.
I was surprised at how much they had prepared.
The supplies they provided seemed sufficient to reach all the residents of this city.
The food included not only hardtack and vacuum-packed rice but also a variety of items such as ready-to-eat side dishes and powdered soups.
We were distributing items not seen in this country, which would likely attract people out of curiosity alone.

Eventually, we exited the noble district's gate and entered the commoner's area.
There, houses were collapsed or charred, as if a battle had occurred.
When I asked the Darshe soldier driving us, he said that the people believed to be heretical inquisitors from the Gaiza Theocracy had been destroying the city.
There were quite a few of them, and even their initial actions caused significant damage, but the Darshe army quickly captured them.
However, most of those captured had committed suicide by poison, so they couldn't extract much information.
Rescue operations for those trapped in destroyed buildings had already been completed, and people who couldn't stay in their homes were staying in inns or parks.
This distribution was for those people.
The residents also noticed the Lumite Grand Wing with Marquis Vardmoi’s crest moving through the city, guided by the Darshe army, and some people followed us.

When we reached our destination, a park, it had become a kind of camp with many tents set up.
Although spring was approaching, it was still chilly, and it couldn't have been comfortable.
The Darshe Principality had quickly distributed tents and blankets, but they couldn't immediately provide food, so meals last night and this morning were in the form of rations.
While that meant no one missed out, it also meant people had no private time, which could be troublesome.
It would be for me too.
Once the Lumite Grand Wing was parked in its designated spot, a podium was quickly set up, and soldiers gathered at the opening to prepare for distribution.
When everything was ready, the distribution began, signaled by Princess Rodenlight.

"Everyone, please listen. The Darshe Principality army is here to give you relief supplies. Please do not push and take turns receiving them. There is plenty for everyone. Please do not fight over it."

The residents began to respond to Princess Rodenlight's call.

"Oh, it's Princess Rodenlight."

"Did Princess Rodenlight get the relief supplies from the Darshe Principality?"

"Don't be silly. The relief supplies were probably prepared from the start. But the fact that they could start distributing them so quickly might be thanks to Princess Rodenlight."

"That huge vehicle has the crest of Marquis Vardmoi on it, doesn't it?"

"Now that you mention it, it does. Marquis Vardmoi must be involved in this distribution too."

"I don't recognize the crest on the back, but... well, it should be fine."

The people in the square began to line up in three rows from three directions under the guidance of the Darshe Principality soldiers.
The Darshe soldier driving the Lumite Grand Wing opened the cargo hold, revealing the large amount of relief supplies inside, eliciting cheers from the crowd.
Yes, the impact was sufficient.
Since the rest could be left to the Darshe Principality soldiers, we entrusted the Lumite Grand Wing to them and left the park—myself, Talat, the Wildcat's Claws, and Plum.
We decided to start our search at the Trade Guild.
If she were anywhere, that would be the most likely place.
Even if she wasn't there, we could probably get some clue about her whereabouts.
I really hope she's safe.
