Moreover, why was he only jailed for five years when he murdered someone? He even managed to find Wrenna and Char.

Harold just couldn't understand how that happened.
At around one in the morning, the two finally arrived at Norwal City, Gablurg. It was where Wrenna's house was located.
Instead of heading straight home, Wrenna decided to look for a hotel and stay there since Harold was with her.
Soon, they entered a hotel. “Excuse me, please give us two rooms.”
“Please show us your ID cards,” the receptionist said politely.
Despite the late hour, she still looked energized.
Wrenna seemed a bit troubled upon hearing her. “I... I was in such a hurry that I left my ID card and driver's license in the office.”
Thank goodness we didn't run into any checkpoints on the way. We could have been in big trouble.
“Miss, please just book the two rooms under my name,” Harold told the cheerful receptionist.
Unfortunately, she declined his request. “I'm sorry, sir. The government is quite strict with the rules recently. You're only allowed to book one room under each ID card.”
Displeased, Wrenna suggested, “Let's just go to another hotel.”
She turned around and left right after speaking, so Harold had no choice but to follow her.
To their chagrin, every other hotel they went to had the same rule.
In the end, they agreed to find a hostel in a more remote part of the city.
Wrenna knew Norwal City like the back of her hand. In no time, she led Harold to an alley lined with hostels.
In the other alleys nearby, many young ladies in skimpy outfits stood at the storefronts.
Some of them gathered together to chit-chat, while some were smoking cigarettes on their own.
Noticing how Harold was staring at the ladies, Wrenna felt vexed for some unknown reason. “This is the well-known red-light district of Norwal City. There are lots of pretty girls here. Do you want me to summon one over for you?” she asked, albeit bitterly.
“There's no need for that. I already have a gorgeous woman by my side. You're a hundred times prettier than them!” Harold said with a smile.
Right after he said that, Harold sensed Wrenna's sharp gaze on her. He couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
“You assh*le! How could you compare me to those women? Do you have a death wish?”
She turned around and left right after speaking, so Harold had no choice but to follow her.
Wrenna raised her hand, pretending to hit Harold.
“Oh, let's just stay here!” Harold hurriedly changed the topic to distract her.
They entered a hostel called Angel's Kiss. One could easily tell that it was named like that to attract those young ladies and their customers.
As expected, the hostel was very lax with the rules.
Harold and Wrenna didn't even need to show their ID cards to secure two rooms. In fact, they could get as many rooms as they wanted as long as they had enough money.
Just when they were about to head upstairs with their room keys in hand, Harold sensed something.
He turned around just to see a shadow flash by the red-light district across from them.
“You go ahead first. I have something to do.”
Harold handed his key to Wrenna and dashed out of the hostel.
When Wrenna saw where he was heading, she thought he ran out to approach those young ladies outside.
“All men are trash!” she spat, glaring at Harold, who left in a hurry.
Then, she went upstairs in a huff.
