It wasn’t just Max Rudis and the attendant in the carriage hter
“It’s only a ruht, you’ll just be exiled from the Church You would have to be crazy to attempt it, anyway”
“Ripples in the water exist once they are made” Seville, the attendant said “It’smonster flesh” He covered his mouth with his sleeve as if he were about to voh tohere” Agnes said “The proble the h a black market exists, the prices there are astronomically expensive Wizards in the capitol often come down to the southern provinces to buy materials at cheaper prices, since Protestantism is more prevalent there”
“T-then, is t-that izards are co-co to Anatol often?” Max said
“From e’ve seen today, that seeood a with theto Anatol is because the Church has less influence here”
As Agnes had said before, wizards flocking into Anatol would be a great blessing to the province There were just not that many wizards who lived here permanently, the province needed three times as many healers then they had now to adequately support their wounded after monster attacks
“Even if more and more wizards cones observed, thoughtfully “You really need wizards to settle here to make a permanent difference Maximilian, are you a Protestant?”
“I-in the D-duchy of Croix, o-our head priest was Catholic He p-preached about the t-testanes ic is useful l-like swordsical r-resources”
“Thank you for speaking like this” The princess sently
Max didn’t ic, too It would be too e hed and couldn’t stop the blood fro to her cheeks, as the princess suddenly knocked the carriage door to get the coachnes said
“We’re going to the castle” Seville grunted “Haven’t we been at the h already? I’oes down, I want to wash away the dust that’s been cast on s out
Besides Agnes and the knights, the group was tired And so, the carriage drove to the outskirts of the town and returned to the castle in a roundabout way The sun was soon setting, turning the sky in a brilliant red
When the carriage finally stopped, Max stepped out to see purple clouds a an a on her tiptoes around Agnes She frowned and started heading to the main hall when sohtly against his chest She looked back in surprise to see Riftan hugging her froed along all day”
“Ones said “YouMax everywhere by force”
The princess stepped down fro her down out of courtesy and grunted at Riftan’s conored her and shi+fted his ar Max around her shoulders He kissed her head softly
Max’s face reddened Although he was often physically affectionate, it was still e for her to receive intimacy in public At the same time, Max’s heart jumped with joy and she felt ticklish on the back of her neck As Riftan caressed her neck with his thuoosebumps
“Captain, has the patrol been co to join later in the night to help investigate the area Any issues so far?” He continued to unpack Agnes’ purchases frohed and released his ar we need to discuss Gather all the knights to the ht now?”
“Yes” Riftan said
Hebaron stretched his lips out like a duck, annoyed by his bluntness Max also bit her lip, a bit disappointed that she wouldn’t be able to spend tiently pushed her back toward the Great Hall
“Go back to the rooh a lot, today”
She hesitated before signaling Rudis to co to retire as well? At that htforwardly
“Please letI will help if I can, based on the history of our alliance”
“Thank you” Riftan nodded
Max stood still and watched Hebaron, Uslin, Riftan and Agnes walk to the knight’s quarters across the field
The group had left to theroom Max’s heart ached for no reason, and her sto to shake off her uneasiness She stayed in the roo the kittens playing on the floor Riftan and the knights didn’t co until it was very late, the topic of their discussion was still a ht meals to the conference room for them
She was tired but tried her best not to fall asleep, so she lit a candle on her desk and started reading a book with ancient text After a long ti a sound
“H-have you finished?” Max said
Riftan, as throwing off his armor in the dark, stopped and looked over his shoulder at her
“I thought you’d be sleeping already”
