At the royal palace, Ricardo's office, Ricardo's secretary Ryan Ficaso was reporting on the state of the people who were temporarily evacuated to other places due to the flooding caused by the dam breaking.
" The Crown Prince, the people who are in the dam area have been successfully evacuated to a safe place according to your orders" Ryan said
" Good job! you appoint the people in charge of the area to be able to arrange to prepare the materials for them to be able to live in that place"
" Okay, Crown Prince"
Then secretary Ryan withdrew from the room and Ricardo returned to work, a few days later after the royal handover dropped according to Ricardo's orders, he decided to conduct a tacit examination.
" Vander you told Lucas and Elona to get out of the palace we're going to do a sneak inspection of the dam's victims!"
After that they went to the shelter and when they saw from one of the houses around the place, they found an awkwardness with the distribution of groceries, ricardo orders Lucas and Elona to inspect the warehouse used to store groceries while he and Vander will try to find information from the victims.
Then they split up, Lucas and Elona break into the storage warehouse secretly and check if any material is missing from what it should be. They found some raw materials that are not the same amount as they should be.
" Let's go back! we've got enough evidence to report" Lucas said
" But what was this delivered item was supplies from the palace directly? and what use the services of suppliers and shipping to get to this place? if you use the services of others there is a possibility that other parties have cheated" Elona said in a soft voice
" Later we will ask directly to the Crown Prince at the time of reporting"
Then they went back to their meeting place and reported the results they found to Ricardo and asked what they wanted to know
" Crown Prince, are these pieces of supplies from the palace?" ask Elona
" Yes, but when the delivery to get here ran into some obstacles because of us Vander and I asked the victims, some of them said they'd seen a group of robbers trying to plow their food if they didn't want to give the group what it wanted. I've asked people to call the person in charge of this place to meet me" Ricardo said
Then the person in charge of the place came to face Ricardo
" Mister, are you looking for me?" said the middle-aged man
" You're in charge of handing out the victims a bullet, what's your name?" ricardo said
" Yes right, my name is Benzo. What officer sir was sent from the palace?"
" What happened to the supply of groceries here why not the same as the one that was taken out of the palace?"
" In fact, during the trip to deliver sembako from the palace to this place, we had been looted in the middle of the forest, he said, there we were threatened to give some of their groceries and forbid us to report this incident to the palace. Finally I had no choice but to give some of the group some groceries"
" Aren't there any soldiers sent from the palace to protect this place? where are they when something like this happens!" ricardo said
" Mister, sir, it was not the soldiers' fault as they were busy to repair the dam and also keep the security in this place and after all the group did secretly and then they disappeared after 2 loot and I saw that there was also enough supplies for the victims in this place so I did not tell this to the soldiers or the palace officers" Benzo said
" Weird! why do they they loot but only ask for a part and then disappear?" said Vander
" I also don't know that maybe they're forest dwellers there"
" Are you able to point us to the location of the incident?" ask Ricardo
Then the four of them went to the forest site where the looting took place, they stopped in the middle of the forest road and Benzo pointed out which way the group went after looting
" They looted our goods in the middle of this forest and then ran in the opposite direction and went inside" Benzo said
" When we find the group take shelter behind my bodyguards!" ricardo's orders on Benzo
" Good Sir"
They walked along the forest road and saw from afar some small huts that were inhabited by some injured parents and small children aged around 3-5 years and there groups looters made up of young children were seen taking care of the elderly and the young children.
" That's them looting the sembako" Benzo said as he pointed to the young men
" If we look at the situation it seems like they also need help, but why not just join the victims of the dam" Vander said
" Maybe they don't want to but can't. Let's go straight to them" Ricardo said
Then they went to the cottage and immediately met the young people who were giving food and invited to play with the little children, then there was the boy who ran to Elona and Ricardo and at that time the young people were aware of their presence.
" Who are you guys? what's the need?" said the young man wrong while securing the other children
" Relax! we have no evil intentions. Are you the chairman here? there's something I want to talk about" Ricardo said
" Yes, we can just talk there" pointing to the waiting area outside the cottage
" Talk me Ricarado, what's your name?"
" I'm Benji"
" Have you ever looted a few days ago? if you need help why not just join the victims"
" Yes right, we cannot join them because we are not the origin of the citizens of this kingdom"
" Where are you guys from?"
" We are refugees from the kingdom of Merioa"
" Why did you guys evacuate all the way here?"
" Because we're there considered "fuck" people", because they are afraid that we will use magic power to harm them but in the kingdom of Bisania they receive magic so it would be safer if we are here only we are from the enemy kingdom so it cannot be too presenting themselves"
" How long have you been here?"
" 1 month"
" Well, for the time being, you wait here and I'll have some people help you while you wait for the results of the palace policy"
While Ricardo and Benji talk, Vander and Lucas join forces with other young people to help provide and care for the parents while Elona plays with the little ones.
