Nelly added, “Oh dear. Great Marshal Zee said that this is a secret between the two of us, and I mustn't tell anyone.

I wonder if he will blame me.”

The villagers began to murmur among themselves.

“Lass, you're lying. This sounds completely absurd!”

“The Great Marshal is such an influential person. There's no way he will come to our village. Even if he does, it will

be a massive event. But, we aren't aware of anything like that.”

“I think you must have dreamed of the Great Marshal.”

Nelly's mom felt very guilty and apologized to the villagers, “I'm so sorry. It's my fault for not guiding her well. That's

why she talks nonsense. When we go back, I will have a long talk with her.”

“All right. Everyone, go back now. It's getting late.”

The crowd began to disperse.

Nelly, on the other hand, was displeased. “But, I'm telling the truth. Why won't all of you believe me?”

“Hold on!” Don called out.

The villagers stopped in their tracks and eyed the village chief with curiosity. “What is it?”

Don took a deep breath before saying, “I feel that what Nelly says may be true.”

The crowd could not help but burst out laughing.

“Chief, Nelly is still young, so we can understand if she is mistaken. But, you are so much older and wiser. How can

you have such poor judgment?”

The village chief said, “Hear me out first. Firstly, this warrior does look very much like the Great Marshal in our

mural, but that's understandable. However, both their auras are also very similar. Can there really be two such

identical men in this world? Secondly, remember three days ago, when we woke up and saw the strange

happenings?”

The villagers nodded and started talking.

“Of course, we remember. Three days ago, when we woke up, many of us had strange injuries on our bodies. The

injuries looked as if we have been overworking.”

“The vegetables in our greenhouses seemed to have grown overnight, but it's not possible.”

“Also, my dog actually died of starvation. But, the night before, I have given it sufficient food.”

“Chief, can all these strange happenings have something to do with the Great Marshal?”

Don said, “To be honest, I have a strong suspicion that we have been sleeping for at least five to six days

continuously during that period! That's why the dog died of starvation. It also explains why the vegetables have

grown so much. During those days, we have been controlled by someone while working our guts off. That will

explain the injuries on us. Throughout everything, we were completely unconscious. We are only rescued when the

warrior, who is also the Great Marshal, appeared.”

When the villagers heard that, their faces turned pale.

“Chief, you're joking, right?”

“That's right. Nobody can sleep for so many days in a row, and certainly not the entire village.”

“Did you say we were being controlled by someone, and that person made us work? How can we not have realized

that? Your theory has too many loopholes!”

Don smiled bitterly. “I also hope that my theory is wrong. But, if everything is true...”

The thought terrified Don.

Suddenly, Nelly said, “Chief, you're right. These days, all of you keep sleeping during the day and only go out to

work at night. Furthermore, none of you drinks, eats, or talks. All of you ignore us too. Other than work, all you do is

sleep. If Great Marshal Zee hasn't been feeding me, I would have died of hunger.”

What!

Nelly's words hit them like a bolt of lightning!

All of them looked at Nelly with petrified looks in their eyes. “Nelly, w-what did you just say? These past few days,

we have been doing nothing but work and sleep. We didn't even eat or drink?”

Nelly was frightened by the villagers' extreme reactions. She nodded her head fearfully. “Yes, that's right. I never

lie.”
