“That’s right According to Alice, that’s how long it should take”

Ittheir march

“In that case, sire, in a place visible at all tihtly rapped my knuckles on her forehead “Charlotte Heraiz, this is an order Be on standby here”

“…As you cohtly

Shenear her for a long time like I had, you’d never have understood that reaction

“…Thanks,” I told her and strolled into the nearby forest

I suround and poured my summoned holy water into it

…And then, the skeletons proceeded to scrounge up some branches from nearby to mock up a silhouette of a person and dunked it in the pool of holy water

Meanwhile, I put on a robe with a hood attached to it, quickly prepared a letter and left it near the pit where it’d be easily found

‘Okay, so, that’s about it, then?’

Around ten hours fro the Fire Giant would take to reach the refugees

That’s why…

“…Time to do the job of the bait properly, then”

I better buy some time for them, even if it’s only a little bit

I summoned the Bone Wyvern

{Sire, you must not overwork yourself}

I recalled what Alice had told ht it’d be a good idea to not strainsome time

I smiled faintly and climbed aboard the Bone Wyvern

“We shall get ready to depart! Everyone, wake up!”

Charlotte’s vigorous voice reverberated throughout the air

Alice silently woke up at that loud call and carefully opened her eyes Her drowsy vision caught the sight of an ee

“Lord Allen?”

He told her using his nas, so despite the potential discourtesy, she chose to do exactly as he wished

She rubbed her still-drowsy eyes with the back of her hand, then lightly swept back her dishevelled hair A gentle s her

‘This happened every tih? Their current situation was h to inspire anxiety and tension, yet she found chatting to hiht soforward to it

She pulled the blanket even deeper around herself, then opened the carriage’s door The figures of the refugees busily reeted her

Alice slowly clis

Allen was nowhere to be seen

“Lady Saintess You’ve woken up,” Charlotte greeted her with a slight bow of her head

Alice reciprocated the greeting with her o “Do you knohere Al… His Majesty has gone off to?”

“His Majesty should be taking a bath with holy water at the enuinely pleased to hear Charlotte’s reply Nothis doctor’s advice to heart and doing exactly as he was told, at least to Alice

“That’s where he is?”

“Yes, Lady Saintess I’ve dispatched some soldiers to locate him He has already stayed in the holy water for around one hour, so the fatigue piled up in his body should be more or less…”

“Wait, did you say one hour?”

But, she told hih? Staying in there for one hour straight wouldn’t improve matters, anyway

Alice tilted her head in puzzlement, only for her complexion to pale

‘…Could it be?’ She hurriedly jumped up on a nearby horse

“Lady Alice?”

She ignored Charlotte’s question and scanned their surroundings once her up But as expected, Allen was still nowhere to be seen

‘Again, he…!’

This hy the ripped the reins tightly

Disappointment and a certain sense of betrayal flooded her heart She pleaded with hi him to rely on her and everyone else, yet…

Why did he have to go and betray her faith in hiees Most of them were visibly exhausted There were a lot of injured and sickly a their ranks, as well
