When the night came, Lara took out her cape to talk to Crown Prince Acerus. They decided to discuss Lara’s trip to the Empire at the same time as yesterday, so she wanted to go to the inn quickly.
But Demian was not there. When Lara realized that his room was empty, she snooped around the annex and found him.
“Demian!”
“Lara?”
Demian entered the garden through the back door of the annex. Then he approached Lara, who was waiting for him in front of the stable.
“Why are you so late?”
“Something happened.”
“Something? Is it something you can’t tell me?”
“Uhh… It’s nothing.”
Lara was asking why he was late but he only kept smiling. It was suspicious for the man to smile when he doesn’t normally smile. However, thinking that she should not keep Crown Prince Acerus waiting, Lara ignored her doubts and climbed up the horse first.
“Hurry up. We’re going to be late.”
The innkeeper did not sleep again while waiting for Lara and Demian. Whenever he met Lara, he kept making food with a very kind face, but she thought it was probably because she kissed Demian at the inn.
“You can just come alone. What’s the point in bringing this guy along?”
“I don’t want to come either.”
“Then don’t.”
Their conversation was always like that, but Lara could see that they trusted and liked each other.
“Let’s get started.”
After the innkeeper lit up the lamp with a long spell, he went out of the room and left them both alone. This time Lara lifted the lamp herself. She wanted to greet Acerus first. However, as soon as the light turned on, Acerus’ urgent shout could be heard from the lamp.
「Long-distance magic receiver!」
“Hello… Your Imperial Highness.”
「I’m sorry.」

“It’s okay.”
Demian was holding his laughter in the back. Acerus was frustrated because he could not curse at him as usual.
“Your Imperial Highness, don’t worry about that. I’m thinking of taking two of them to the Empire.”
「Can’t you…bring the alchemist here?」
“He’s not my subordinate.”
Technically, she was his employer, but the truth was that Lara did not even know what was written in Valentine’s contract.
Acerus mumbled in a disappointed tone.
「When can you leave then?」
“When the long-distance magic receiver is complete and when we’re ready to depart.”
「When is that?」
Acerus asked and Lara contemplated for a moment. Valentine was working hard but the receiver was not an item that could be made so quickly. Then, Demian, who was standing silently behind her, suddenly interrupted and said.
“Stop being clingy.”
「What?」
“I will bring her there myself so stop calling her. It’s a hassle to go out every night.”
「You son of a…」
“What?”
「Person. Son of a person.」
“I will let you know when the schedule is set, so don’t rush us and just wait. We will also take care of the escort team.”
「Be careful.」
Acerus was serious when he told Demian to be careful. They exchanged some information through the lamp. Demian talked about Prince Sidhar, the black sorcerers, and the demon Valac. Crown Prince Acerus talked about a group of demonic beasts appearing in the Gorgon Mountain Range. Finally, Acerus greeted Lara in a princelike voice again.
「Saintess, I will eagerly await your arrival in the Empire.」
“See you in the Empire.”
While Lara and Demian were at the inn, two carriages arrived at Isadora’s riverside manor.
