I frowned as I stared at the reports in front of me. There had been several attempts against nobles in the west in the last twenty-four hours. The most prominent being the attack on Raisuke and his family.
They had gotten attacked at the start of their trip to the capital, but Raisuke fought off the rebels. Then they got attacked again overnight. But according to the letter he sent me via pidgeon, the latter attack seemed to have been done by mercenaries hired by one of his relatives.
I sighed as if the peasantly rebelling wasn't bad enough, now there was family infighting. Thank the Sky Father than I was granted two kind siblings in the form of Tasuku and Rose.
My jaw clenched. People didn't know about my older brother. Rose could face danger. She kept a low profile, but there was still some risk. Especially if he husband ended up drawing the gaze of the wrong people. As a Captain in the Marines, he might be seen as a threat to anyone hoping to whip up a storm.
