"Phew! This afternoon's training was really exhausting."
In a spacious courtyard, a tall, well-built young man wiped his sweat with a towel.
He was strikingly handsome, with neatly combed blond hair.
Wearing tight black training clothes, his muscular physique was clearly visible.
The man was Leonard Thelberg, head of the Thelberg family and ruler of Black Horn City.
As he was relaxing after the intense training session, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
"My lord, there is an important letter for you."
Leonard turned and saw a maid walking toward him with a slightly panicked expression.
"A letter for me?" Leonard was a little surprised.
The maid reached into her pocket and handed it to him carefully.
Leonard took it, looked at both sides, and then asked, "Where is it from?"
"It's from the town of Virella, my lord."
"The town of Virella?" Leonard was stunned. He certainly knew that town.
After all, it was relatively close, only two hundred kilometers from here.
