Disappearance

[Ace POV],

As Emma and I, along with everyone else in the sitting room, made our way out of the manor, the first thing that caught my eye as I stepped out of the manor was dozens of people who were standing outside the manor and making noise.

"Sir Roland! May has disappeared!"

"Sir Roland! This officially makes it the 20th case of people suddenly disappearing"

"I thought we asked the knights in the other town nearby for help last week; when will they come? Until we all disappear?"

The entire place was noisy because people were talking in random order.

In a nutshell, it was a mess.

When Sir Roland saw this, he shouted several times to calm the crowd, but his voice was drowned out by the crowd\'s yells.

When Sir Roland saw this, the rubbled his temples as he suddenly released the pressure of a rank 1 specie as the people in front of us calmed down and the expressions of anger and fear on their faces were replaced with more fear.

Seeing this, Sir Roland slowly withdrew the pressure he was emitting as the people who were shouting before never attempted to speak again. Or should I say they didn\'t dare to speak again as they all locked their gaze on Sir Roland.

Seeing this, Sir Roland gave a fake cough to attract the attention on him before speaking.

"I know you\'re all angry, sad, and scared, but I want you to know that yelling isn\'t going to solve anything," he said as he began his speech.

Sir Roland spoke again after looking around and seeing that everyone was paying attention to him and listening.

"All right, so can someone tell me what happened?" Sir Roland asked when he saw that everyone has visibly calmed down.

When his voice landed, a woman\'s loud voice suddenly sounded as I saw someone struggle to make her way to the front of the crowd.

She immediately knelt on the ground and began pleading after she had succeeded.

"Sir Roland, please return my daughter to me!" the woman pleaded as soon as she appeared in front of Sir Roland.

\'It appears that this is the mother of the missing girl,\' I thought as I watched the woman pleading and shouting as Sir Roland tried to calm her down.

\'Noisy,\' I thought as I felt compelled to prick my ears before the woman calmed down after what appeared to be her husband arrived to calm her down as well before she spoke.

After explaining everything that led to her daughter\'s disappearance from her perspective, the mother burst into tears again.

According to the woman, the incident that led to the girl\'s disappearance was rather sudden.

According to the woman, since the villagers in the village kept disappearing one after the other mysteriously, she always kept her daughter by her side and it was the same today.

She only left her daughter\'s side today to go to the kitchen to cook, but when she returned to where she had left her daughter, she found no one. Before she left her daughter to cook, the room was empty and the door and windows were still locked.

When she saw her daughter wasn\'t in the place she left her, she feared for the worst but she didn\'t alarm anyone at first as she immediately searched the house for her daughter and when she did not find her inside, she went outside to look for her.

It wasn\'t until she couldn\'t find her daughter that the villagers became alarmed and realized that another of them had vanished.

\'Mysterious,\' I thought as I recalled what the woman had said.

From this, it can just be said that the girl disappeared into thin air and left no trace.

In the end, the situation was perplexing to me, but based on the expressions of the villagers around me, it appears that previous disappearances occurred in this manner.

\'What happened here\', was the thought going on in my head as we follow Sir Roland as he made his way to the house of the woman whose daughter disappeared.

As I thought about this, I turned to face Sir Roland, who was standing beside me and spoke.

"What happened here? "This doesn\'t appear to be the first time this has happened," I said quietly, as only Sir Roland could hear me.

In his eyes, I had only just arrived in his village a while ago.

As I thought of this, Sir Roland responded in the same low voice to what I said.

"The disappearance of villagers in the village began a few weeks ago.

I initially assumed it was a kidnapping case, but when I went out to look for myself, I found no one. It was just like this, the villager disappeared without a trace.

​ I was worried about this and the villagers worried more but what I didn\'t expect after I calmed the villagers was for another person to disappear the next day.

It became worse as more cases of the villagers disappearing started to get often. You may have heard from one of the villagers, but this brings the total number of missing people in the past weeks to 20.

It became too much for me to bear, so I asked the church in the nearest town for assistance last week to dispatch their knights, but on that day I left, two people vanished instead of the usual one. Ever since then, I did not dare to go out of the village again, and because this village is very far from other settlements, it was only me that could move from one place to another and still come back to the village that same day but now I can\'t since I can\'t leave. It didn\'t help that the church knights never showed up even after I asked for assistance," Sir Roland said quickly in a low tone, ending with a sigh as he stopped talking after that because we were getting close to the woman\'s house.

When I saw this, I didn\'t say anything as I was thinking about what he said, and all I can say is that things just got more mysterious and confusing.

For starters, I\'ve now heard two new terms.

Knights and the church.

What these two represent in this quest is unknown to me.

\'It would be good if a clue appears soon\', I thought as I concentrated on the road as another thought appeared in my head.

Perhaps that\'s why I felt the air around this place was odd.

No place would be normal if 19 people mysteriously vanished in a matter of weeks.
