[color=gold] “Ryan Dreane? Hmm, well if you say that you didn’t steal your items in Lugnica then I cannot say I have the power to force you to return any of these things. But it is strange. I have never seen any of this lettering, yet you can speak my language pretty fluently. I assumed you were a trader at first glance, considering your strange clothing. Though I am suspicious, I do not believe you are lying about your position. Perhaps you have made enemies with the wrong person?” [/color]

At the very least, if Ryan had not broken a law within Lugnica, but he had still broken a law. Or perhaps he was someone who had been kidnapped, as he had said. He didn’t really look like he was lying about not knowing where he was, 

And it wasn’t like after a few glances she could really discern the contents of the cart. They looked to be a random assortment of things. But what exactly was a super market? She had heard of certain specialty shops being indoors, but to run an indoor marketplace was something that Maria had never heard of. A large enough building to house such individuals tended to be something akin to a castle or a cathedral, and would not be suitable in price considering that shops tended to be closed during any weather ailments. Perhaps he came from a city of merchants, then? 

There was something about the word supermarket, or perhaps about how the boy explained it that seemed familiar to herself. Perhaps some sort of idealism sparked within herself seemed familiar with such a concept. A feeling that made Maria, despite knowing very little about the subject, wish to say something along the lines of “Yeah I know what a super market is!”, but she could not place her finger where such ideas came from. Perhaps she had come across it in one of the many novella her father collects and which fascinate her? 

[color=gold] “However, if you are lost, I suppose I cannot just leave you here. Especially if you collapse again. And if someone did have malicious thoughts towards you, then they may come back again. If that is the case, I shall be your escort. In the name of the von Hohenzollerns and the Knights of the Iron Bell, no harm shall befall you under my guard, assuming you would have me as your escort. However, as a Knight of this city and one of its guards, I cannot say that I can also give up on my patrols. If  you have never before walked the streets of Lugnica before, perhaps you could learn a few things while I patrol?” [/color] 

If he had been kidnapped for a reason by an enemy of Lugnica, at the very least she could investigate this, such as the increased appearances of the Witch’s Cult and increased Mabeast attacks on civilians and traders. Perchance this instance of displacement was caused by some sort of force which caused this? Of course, some people say the witch’s cult doesn’t even exist, considering the many false flags which occur within the confines of the Guard Station’s reports. Likely, in Maria’s opinion, given the current circumstance, it was an instance of human trafficking.
