The logging camp in the early morning.
Just at dawn, the entire camp was noisy, more bustling than in the past few days.
The clamor outside woke Kana up. He got up and peeked out to see that the entire camp was surrounded by people.
He could see some people gradually walking over from the direction of the town, bringing their families along.
Seeing this scene, Kana knew that the Count must have already begun to act.
"Your Highness, have something to eat." Alyris, who somehow had already walked over, held a wicker basket with a few steaming buns inside.
"Mmm."
Kana nodded and took them.
Mmm... indeed, not very tasty, just enough to stave off hunger.
He wandered around the camp while eating, observing the current situation.
There were mainly children, women, and some elderly people being brought in.
The noises of children chattering and crying filled the camp.
Several women joined in assembling the rafts, while more workers hurriedly chopped down trees.
