CURSES, KARMA, AND BANDITS IN THE SHADOWS!Day by day, Princess Alicia, Shinta, and Ruid get closer to the bandit camp. Night after night, Shinta slowly trains the body and heart of the scheming princess. But when Alicia reveals that she's suffering from a terrible curse, Shinta wonders if it's just another move in the game of manipulation. As for Shinta himself, his own new power of "karmic retribution" might come in useful in sniffing out the bandits plaguing the local town... that is, if the snooty local lord is willing to believe him!
