"Come on, Miss Rachel. It's almost Milicier territory."
I turned my gaze out on the curtain of the carriage opened with Master Leonie's voice.
There, animals such as herded horses and cattle can be seen eating grass or running through wide flats.
"Well! Sarah, look! So many animals!
"Yeah, ma'am. It's not the same as the King's capital or Marcel."
As we raise our voices and look around us like we were excited, Clo, who slept round on his lap, also jumps up as surprised by my voice.
And after looking around like a panic, Gu stretched out his body, and when he returned to his former position, he closed his eyes again and began to sleep.
Contrary to what such a clo looked like, I was blinded by the sight I saw for the first time.
The first thing that popped into my eyes was the cuteness of the animals, but when I looked around often, the beauty of the land caught my eye.
Behind the expansive plateau rise mountains, all of which are snow-covered. It makes you feel brave again, but also fantastic beauty.
It's like being naturally embraced in the air, and in front of a rolling nature, breathtaking by accident.
I am unwittingly happy with Mr. Leonie's crunchy and leaky grin about how much I had noticed.
As she hurriedly turned her gaze to Master Leonie, Master Leonie put her arms together and looked at this one with a jiggly smile. I remember myself earlier and feel my cheeks blush.
Then he undone his body, which was slowly riding itself out, and sat back deep in the chair.
"You don't have to worry about me. Miss Rachel and Sarah were so cute."
"I showed you my embarrassment..."
"No, I want to see more."
Master Leonie is no different in phase, has a beautiful smile, and Sarah, sitting next to me, stares at Poe like he's been floating in fever.
And again, I look softly out the window and think.
I finally got here, he said.
If you think so, there is something very emotional about it.
Five days after leaving Wang capital. I was finally able to enter Milicier territory.
I am able to get this far without any particular problems on the road. That's all but because Master Leonie is contacting me about the resting place, the inn, etc. one step ahead of my preparations.
I feel sorry for me, too, for saying, 'It's always the same way to go back to the realm. I'm used to it,' he replied with a refreshing smile.
Looks like Sarah quickly became a fan of such Leonie's riddle as a knight.
I was often anxious about what would happen before I left, but I felt relieved and stroked my chest down that I had come to Milician territory without time pressing.
Yes, there hasn't been any particular problem since the trip, and things are going well.
The problem was before we left.
Just like when I left for Marcel, it was the moment to go out and my father began to see me again. Many times I said 'I'm coming with you' and didn't ask, and I was pushed into the mansion to be dragged by my mother where I was worried about what was going on.
Such a mother and mother showed me how I was feeling and made me hold a large quantity of herbs and demon stones. As far as my mother was concerned, Lady Leonie's enthusiastic and powerful words, 'Lady Rachel, I will protect you with my life at stake' made this look lukewarm again.
An hour later than the scheduled departure time, in anticipation of the moment. We were finally able to leave the Marquis Mansion.
"Miss Rachel, from today onwards we will be based in the Lordship Hall of our Count's house.
Entering Busque territory is now a week from now. The period is scheduled for three days, so are you sure?
"Yes. I'll take care of you for a while to come"
"Ha, it doesn't have to be that much. Think of it as your own home and take your time."
"Thank you"
To my words, Lady Leonie nodded gently with her eyes narrowed. And "Speaking of which," he prefaced, turning his gaze upwards as if he were thinking with his hand on his chin.
"Your Highness must have sent you a gift."
"Huh? Is it from His Highness?
"Yes. Earl's soldiers joined us as a guide from the earlier resting place, and now we're walking side by side guarding Roger and the carriage perimeter. So, it looks like the soldier left his statement. According to this, it was delivered as you arrived."
"Well..."
In Lady Leonie's words, Her Highness's face naturally occurred to me, and I felt her cheeks loose.
Keep wearing it throughout your journey and gently touch the necklace that is familiar with your skin.
Wonder, when I remember His Highness, when I touched the stone of that necklace, my heart filled and I felt warm.
I can still feel His Highness nearby just by touching it.
Maybe because of my love for Your Highness, I'm just letting myself assume naturally that I am.
But I still think.
I'm sure your reassurance when touching this stone is because Your Highness put his own magic into it.
I can always feel His Highness watching over me and feeling close to me even though I'm away.
Even now, when I think of His Highness, my chest sounds fast as toctok.
And you feel strong enough to share your power.
"Really good"
With Master Leonie's voice, fuzzy consciousness surfaces.
No, I feel like I'm thinking about your Highness.
"Huh?" she asked Master Leonie back, grinning.
"No, it's about Your Highness. I can fit my thoughts with someone as nice as you. I'm sure this country will be even better."
"No, I haven't..."
"I mean it. I am grateful not only for Your Highness, but also for Theodore.
That's why I've always wanted to see Miss Rachel, but someone so jealous wouldn't let me see her. "
Master Leonie winked, like a prankster, with his index finger against his mouth. He even looks like that, and he accidentally leaks a "fuzzy" laugh.
Still, Master Theodore?
Appreciation, what does that mean?
Although there are many things I have to be thankful for, I don't remember being thankful.
When I try to open my mouth to ask Master Leonie what it is about, before that, Mr. Leonie's atmosphere changes to that of a tingling knight, who accidentally closes his mouth and corrects his posture.
Master Leonie gave an unusual serious look after hitting earlier and stared straight at this one with the eye of a slit.
"I don't know what lies ahead. Still, I'll be sure to protect you. It's not for dangerous eyes. Me, and Roger."
"... thank you. Dear Leonie, thank you."
Without distracting herself from that gaze, Lady Leonie smiled happily again when she took it straight and replied.
Even I shouldn't fail like I did before.
A knight who protects me, and Sarah who arrives, and those who travel with me.
Everything is here because of my wish.
That is why I must also be responsible so that they can complete their mission and return to the King's capital.
As I renew my determination, I realize that the carriage slowed down gradually.
Looking out the window, he apparently arrived at the Lordship Hall of the Count's house.
The carriage stops once and then passes through the gate. And slowly we move forward in front of the building.
That's just the Count Milicier family, and at first glance I can see that this Lordship Hall is also a historic and splendid building.
"Come on, you seem to be here. Let's go."
"Yes."
When the carriage stops, Master Leonie, who got off the carriage first, gives her a dazzling smile as clear as the weather is today, as she offers her hand over here.
"Welcome to Milicier territory"
