Inside the simply furnished office…
"My Lord, these are the results of the most recent investigation in the Yoktir Swamp."
The one speaking was none other than the right hand of the Harmonia City Lord, Renoir.
His current expression was a sharp contrast to his lively flair back in Harmonia City's Inauguration.
The black feline ears on his head seemed to be tensed as his brows were locked in a slight frown.
His formal black suit seemed to be strictly ironed, while his white-gloved hand stayed behind him, his posture not faltering even when his expression was crumbling.
Meanwhile, in front of him was the City Lord of Harmonia himself, Reinhardt.
Like Renoir, his current state seemed to form a sharp contrast to when he faced the citizens of Harmonia back in its inauguration.
Unlike Reinhardt's timid nature back then, he currently had a tranquil light in his eyes— as if he would not be surprised by whatever may come his way.
