I’ll not be seen in the dark woods by even a vigilant Imperial soldier.
Since the Imperials were camped in a small clearing, they would find it even more difficult to look for things in the dark forest around them.

I walked around and moved closer to the makeshift camp.
I spy a single person sleeping.
In this situation, the only person who can sleep like that must be a high-ranking nobleman.

One of the soldiers was heading to the stream with the rabbit.
He must be going to wash out the insides after cleaning the carcass.

My chance has arrived.

I pull out a knife and throw it at one of the soldiers, it sticks right in the soldier’s gut.

“Gufaw!” Soldier

While the soldiers are confused, I draw my dagger and rush to the sleeping person.

The rest of the soldiers pull their swords, but I’ve already put my dagger to the neck of the sleeping nobleman.

“Don’t move! If you attack, I’ll kill this guy.
Don’t do anything suspicious either, I’ll take that as a trigger to kill him too.” Pat

After about a minute or two, the soldiers accepted their defeat.
Soon, the soldier with the rabbit returned, but the other soldiers talked him down before he could attack me.

At this point, the sleeping person finally work up and started to panic.
I didn’t expect that.
