Chapter 55 (2/2)

Even sue

Finding a village that meets the conditions as well as a shrine on its outskirts, forgotten by time, won’t be a walk in the park No doubt a lot of ti all of the villages scattered along the border, but I couldn’t afford to abandon my search for the medicine

“To some extent, we have no choice but to ask for help even if we find some contenders”

“Indeed”

Despite being in agreeet it done I was at an impasse Unlike me, however, Sir Leonhard had come prepared with a solution

“Actually, the co officer of the northeast fortress is an old friend of ht corner of the ht I’d ask hi exercise What do you think?”

“I…appreciate it, but is that acceptable? Won’t it be a hindrance to their job?”

“You need not worry After all, they’re only checking as they practice and patrol Also, there’s a small matter that has me concerned”

Mm?

What did he mean by that? I looked at hiivehe couldn’t tell me now I trusted him, so I didn’t mention it When it was necessary, and the time had come, I was sure he’d tell me

“In that case, please take care of it”

I lowered my head deeply and he nodded firmly

“Next, about the medicine…”

He stopped himself and looked attold et involved with the search I had been quiet the entire carriage ride home, and probably caused him a lot of worry

“It see and Michael have departed”

To search for the dom of Flamme

As an apprentice wizard, I assumed Michael would be restricted in his movements, but unlike Theo and Lutz, he benefited froic, it seemed they didn’t consider him a threat The robes were color coded differently for that reason

“I was left behind,” I jested with a shten

“Princess…” he said pensively

“Oh, I’” I hurried to shake iven up, either”

He looked surprised “Huh?”

“Of course I’m sad, but if I think about it, I’ve always been prepared for this”

“Prepared, you say?” he asked, perplexed

“Yes, that’s right” I nodded “As long as I’m a princess, I’ll naturally be kept out of harive up, this is where it will end I finally understand If I believe that I can’t give in, nothing will begin unless it starts with me”

So what if I’ for anyone to lead et in, I should make the first steps

I hoped to change the future

I vowed not to give up on Sir Leonhard

Therefore, I have to beco

Strong enough to keep going forward, no matter what happens

“I don’t want give up… Can you help me?”

Hand pressed tofroently in return, looking at rowth of a child

Though I’m not satisfied, how could I not be happy to receive such a warm smile from him?

“Of course,” he reassuredwith you for that very reason, so if you don’t tell , I’ll be worried”

I sighed in relief
