When they entered the camp, it was a temporary setup with roughly 80 to 100 soldiers. Laki started laughing and boasting around, "We found a little spy."

Ranka turns his head to Laki, noted. "we don't know that yet."

On the other hand, Nestor was deep in his thought ' I don't know what happened to me, but I am sure after what I saw, I am in a different world from mine. I hope my family is doing well'.

While Nestor was sinking in his thoughts, another man was approaching. He was fit, tall, and have grey hair in his 40s. Wearing silver armor with a phoenix crest in his chest. 

"Welcome back, Ranka, Laki, give your report."

"Sir Iris, we found this guy strolling in the forbidding land, he claims don't know where he is, and he claims to be from a country that we never heard about."

Then Laki spoke, "Sir, he is lying, and he is a spy trying to get through our borders. We should just kill him".

Iris looked to Nestor with suspicious eyes and said, "a spy, you say why didn't kill him? We are not here to catch worms".

Then Nestor clenched his hand and spook, "why killing me? I didn't do anything to kill a person without any reason. What kind of people are you?"

Laki then punched Nestor in his face sending him flying. Then he said, "know your place maggot, never speak unless you were asked to". Nestor sat with difficulty that punch was hard as a rock".

Ranka looked at Nestor for a moment and turn his head to Iris and said. "Sir, I didn't kill him because there are two things that bug me out. First, he does not have any mana essence, and yet he is here in the forbidding lands. For a normal person without help, it is impossible to live, as you know. Second, his looks don't look like that of peasant thou they are looking weird".

Iris was looking at Nestor while he is thinking, "and what is your decision?"

Ranka responds, "I don't think he is a spy because he can't use magic; also, he is not a peasant, but I think he has companions and their strengths not weak to us, but I don't know what their purpose doing near our borders is."

Iris Think for a moment, then he said, "If this is true, we do not need more conflict. Well done, bringing him here. Let the captain decide what to do with him until she returns from hunting. Put him in prison and put two men watch him. You both have some rest. You deserve it. "

Both Laki and Ranka bow and thank Iris, then they turn around and walk away.

Iris turned around and said to some soldiers. "tell everyone to be ready for the worst-case scenario," the solider is nearby said, "yes sir."

After they put Nestor in jail. It was a small cage in the corner near the soldier's tents, with two guards watching him. Nestor was thinking about what would happen to him and what he was going to say to make them believe him.

Time passed, then Nestor heard a commotion. He raises his head to see a huge white wolf running toward the camp. It made Nestor open his eye wide. The wolf height was almost 20 feet, scary-looking, it was like the legendary Fenrir. 

It was his first time seeing something living that big, and said to himself, 'My God, what is this beast'.

As the wolf got closer, a girl was mounting that wolf. She was in her 20s with blond hair, beautiful snow skin, and red yet scary and sharp eyes. When the wolf stopped. She jumped and was falling slowly like it was in slow motion. 

All the soldiers were in awe because of her beauty, yet no one can speak to her because they know their head will be flying faster than light.

Solider kneels and says in sync, "welcome back, Lady Risa, thanks for your hard work." she looked around then said, "be at ease, soldiers". She was a proud and strong young lady.

Then she walked toward her private tent. Nestor, on the other hand, was still looking at the wolf with amazing eyes. "such a wonderful, yet scary beast". The wolf sensed Nestor's gaze and looked at him, then lowered it is head.

When the night settled, Eris came to the cage and said, "Guards tied him up and take him to lady Risa." Nestor made up his mind; he will tell the truth even if it were unbelievable. He could not lie since he does not know anything about this world.

The two guards respond, "yes, sir". After they tie him with rope and escort him to the tent.

guards stand near the entrance and say, "My lady, we got the prisoner as you ordered."

"come in."

As they entered, Nestor saw Lady Risa was sitting in a chair and Iris was standing at her right side, with her eye were fixed in Nestor. 

She spoke with a low but voice, but he clearly heard it because every hair in Nestor's body stood up, and he sensed killing intent in every word came out from her mouth.

"I don't have time for a maggot, so let me be clear who are you and what purpose you have doing in the forbidding land and who is with you."

Nestor composer himself and said. "My lady, I already told your men everything, and it was all true to the end. I will say it again, and I hope you believe me. My name is Nestor, and I do not know where I am. To be honest, this is far exceeding my imagination Because I am not from this world.

After he said this, both Iris and Risa were startled. 

Then he continues to explain, "when I woke up in ruins, I searched for my family, and because I did not recognize the ruins, I searched for someone to help me. At first, I thought I was in my world but in a different place, but then I saw your men who attacked me for no reason, then when I saw their clothes and magic chains. At that moment, I knew I am not in my world because there was no magic there. And this is my first time to see that big beast of yours."

After he finished the explanation, a dead silence descended to the room. Then a laugh broke out, "Haha, this is a story for the day."

Both Risa and Iris laughed. then she said. "Do you even hear what you are saying? Even if you are not lying, you are definitely crazy".

Nestor froze for a moment. Then he said, "I am not lying! And Not crazy. I know what I said is unbelievable, but it's true if I want to lie, I will do better than this!"

She then screamed, "silence!" Then she looked at Iris and said, "We have more important issues at hand. We don't have time to interrogate a maggot. Put him in jail if he has a companion. They will show up at that time will see what happens. If not, we will kill him after our expedition end and be done with it".

When Nestor hears this, he just froze his last hope to make her believe him was just cut, and despair filled his heart. Then he said, "please, believe me, I am not from this world, and I don't have any companions."

As Iris tried to take Nestor out, suddenly they heard a soldier screaming, said: "Intruder! we have an intruder!" 

Hearing this made Nestor's heart skip a beat. He did not know who it is, he just said he did not know anyone, and suddenly someone shows up!
