The Reincarnated Princess' Travels (2)

Lying down against the cold hard floor of a da to be comfortable I could feel the sharp rocks on et up or evenhowl of some animal from the outside

I couldn't walk a step further 'I'ht And Iour breakfor the summit, but it seems that wasn't the plan Soon, the road veered off downhill, straight into the forest When the path began to cli By the tis had turned completely pitch-black

”Marie, can I touch your feet for a bit?”

”…!?”

When I openedbeforeht and he cautiously took it off Wolf wiped my feet with a damp cloth and applied so and closed my eyes

”You can sleep like this, if you'd like”

His gentle,me to sleep Still, I shook h froe 'So stubborn,' he whispered

”I told you that I would carry you onh you were sore all over”

I' on that Even if I didn't want to be carried by that bird, I didn't have to refuse Wolf's offer, right?

Well, perhaps I was just being a little obstinate…

At any rate, it didn't feel right to take advantage of Wolf when I was still trying to avoid answering his ' to try and depend on him any time soon

”You really are stubborn… but you also have the guts to go through with your decisions”

I didn't expect praise co aze

I felt aard and changed the topic towards Crowe, asking where he was It seeht That's done With this, I don't think there'll be too ”

My foot was tapped lightly as he finished his treatave me but it felt a lot better now So not only was that ointment anti-inflammatory, but it also acted as pain relief as well?

”This is a…”

As I murmured to myself, Wolf raised his face He had been in theup equipment that was spread out on the floor

”Are you interested in hiring us now?” Wolf said with a wink, but I could only return a bitter s how badback some info, it's not really fair to force the choice on you now, is it”

”Infor about before?”

Wolf's reasons to be hired were still unclear Was it out of his own desire? Or was it decided as the clan's next chief? Crowe had asked those questions

Wolf nodded and ive an answer, it would be neither, I think The idea about having so I wanted as the next chieftain But I personally put faith in you, Marie, out of my own volition”

”I'm far from qualified for that position”

That kind of role would require aristocratic status to be able to fund the entire clan I also haven't forgotten what Wolf said about having good co ealth This responsibility wasn't fit for a princess likeI was a royal, Wolf didn't back down in the slightest and hly of e a clan

”…And here's the ” Wolf slowly spelled it out

He brought me back to focus on his next words Gulp

”My choice hasn't got the full consensus of the clan”

”Eeh?…”

Wolf seemed embarrassed about what he just said When asked, 'Isn't this just the worst case scenario?' Wolf sied, 'Yeah'

I hated his nonchalant way of talking I wasn't one to talk, but Wolf was really pushi+ng it

Would I be acknowledged by the Kua Clan? And would they accept me as their master? It wasn't just those two points that hadIf the Kua Clan truly didn't need a master, should I interfere with them at all?

”That was extremely important information Please don't keep it to yourself”

”I proposed to tell you ive permission and dismissed the idea”

”So you just decided to force everyone involved… Look, I may be an outsider, but even I think this whole subject should be planned outover this It's already too late”

Wolf's gaze drifted off into the distance I had wanted to retort, but after seeing his face, I was at a loss for words

”We have great skills and knowledge, but what's the point in keeping all of it to ourselves? I absolutely refuse to stay in these backwaterand saving no one I won't let them drive my life down into ruins like that”

”Wolf…?”
