“Don’t fear concerning the knights, I’ll go to the mansion.”

“Sure, please. I encourage of you, Your Highness.”

After smiling at Aven, Seira climbed to the driving force’s seat. She greeted Baron, who checked out her with a posh expression, and Louis, who simply placed on his masks and smiled, after which rode off right away.

The carriage was in a position to get out of the palace with out a lot fuss, even thought it had no coat of arms to determine the household that owned it, maybe as a consequence of Calrad’s orders.

She didn’t know why she was informed to not cease by the mansion, so Seira solely focused on getting out the imperial capital by the shortest distance.

She was disguised as a wagon carrying items, and was even sporting a gown. Seira appeared like a small employee in order that she wouldn’t entice consideration.

‘Most would assume I’d rid Franto’s carriage dwelling, however…’

To arrange for any attainable assault, Seira transformed the Moor given by Baron right into a dagger and hid it underneath her sleeve. She knew {that a} second could be too brief to reply instantly whereas she drove a carriage.

Nevertheless, her anxiousness was overshadowed by Seira’s carriage leaving the imperial capital with out a lot bother. Calrad and Aven’s countermeasures have labored.

‘What a aid.’

It wasn’t till she entered the Dews that she returned Moor to its bracelet kind, with a sigh of aid. To be sincere, it wasn’t simple for her to even drive a carriage and battle. Within the worst case, she’d need to sacrifice the carriage and the horse.

Seira realized how dangerous it was to haven’t any Aven stand by her aspect.

The street that she used to go effectively alone felt notably far immediately. Whereas she crossed the desolate land lit solely by moonlight, she wasn’t lonely when Aven was by her aspect. However now that she was alone, she felt a bit scared.

‘Aven…’

She was the one who confessed that she appreciated him, however when she recalled herself taking a look at him with begging eyes, her coronary heart ached once more.

‘Clearly I’ve a coronary heart…’

Maybe it was as a result of Aven acquired the standing of Crown Prince. It was tougher to not acknowledge her emotions for him, which she expressed for the primary time with out suppressing.

Nevertheless, she additionally has her causes. Why can’t she maintain his hand regardless of how a lot she needed to?

He didn’t appear to understand how unhappy the water on her fingertips made her when she wiped Aven’s eyes.

Somewhat than carrying the burden collectively, she felt like her ft had been sinking deeply at the truth that she couldn’t even be somebody Aven may speak in confidence to. She resented her lack of ability to resolve Aven’s downside, and her poor scenario made her fear extra as she couldn’t even handle herself.

‘Anyway… I didn’t anticipate something to vary instantly.’

Hadn’t she informed him, too? If Askan recovered and her scenario was higher than it’s now, maybe he would take into account it then.

So now, she simply needed to do what was wanted step-by-step. It’s not like she was being lazy for no purpose.

It was previous midnight when Seira reached D-Ark. She parked the carriage proper in entrance of the steps and checked the bags inside.

Heaps of hay for the horses lay on the ground, and crates filled with groceries, clothes, and medical provides had been loaded on high of one another.

Seira carried all the things into the citadel apart from the hay. Afterwards, the horses and the carriage had been separated, with the carriage saved within the warehouse, and the horses put within the greenhouse that was transformed right into a secure.

“I’m again.”

As she greeted him, the spirit of Nathan, who was snooping round random crates, approached and responded.

Welcome dwelling, child.

Glancing behind her, he added with a dissatisfied look.

You’re alone once more immediately. Didn’t you say you had been getting engaged to Franto’s child?

“Ah… that’s…”

Seira remembered belatedly that she had stated that to Nathan earlier than visiting Louis to signal their contract, and he or she may solely roll her eyes and ponder what to say. It was extremely unlikely that she’d be engaged or married to Louis sooner or later.

“We determined to see one another extra for now. I believed it is likely to be finest that we all know one another first.”

Hmm… I see. However why don’t you deliver him over. I’m wondering what sort of particular person my daughter meets.

“Anybody could be a disappointment to you,” she joked.

I can’t deny it.

Seira’s temper, which had been down, turned a lot better as she playfully spoke with Nathan.

Child, don’t inform me you’re going to sleep with out unpacking, are you?

“…I used to be going to.”

At Nathan’s nagging, Seira moved the grocery crate first to the kitchen. Then she piled up crates of clothes and medical provides, and carried them to her bed room.

Uh-huh, handrail in entrance, handrail!

She bumped and dropped the crates a couple of occasions, however she was in a position to tidy up very quickly.
