Chapter 191

They followed the guard into the village Looking around the bustling roads froe Rustic wooden cabins lined both sides of the road, and goats, pigs, and donkeys were scattered, peacefully grazing the vegetation

Max wrinkled her nose at the stench of the barn The road was stained with droppings fro the road, and there were piles of luently on the houses There were also armed men here and there, who looked like swords for hire Riftan frowned as they waved across the sea of people

“There are quite a number of people here”

“Isn’t it because of the sudden increase in oblins, and goblins It has beco their ho here”

“Is there a food shortage?” Riftan asked

“We are better coes, asto Livadon Ah, we arrived” The soldier pointed to the three-story wooden inn located at the end of the narrow path “The knights are staying at that inn”

“Thank you for guiding us” Riftan tossed him a silver coin

The soldier bowed and quickly ran to the inn to call some workers to attend to them After the soldier fulfilled his duties, they headed inside

Max walked over to Riftan and looked around the dientle room filled ooden planks and chairs, i and jumped out of their seats when they saw theht!” Hebaron grinned and stroked Riftan’s ar him, and walked over to the innkeeper to ask for a roonored, Hebaron continued to slad you’re okay, ma’am I knew he’d find you but I orried it would be too late Are you hurt so everyone”

“No, don’t apologize We should be the ones to apologize for not protecting you properly I thought dah but… Thank God the Co co skills”

Max looked around the room with a solemn shts arrive safely?”

“They all arrived last night Gabel has gone out to look for supplies, And the others are gathering infore You can say hello later, you must be tired Go rest in the roohtly clicked her disheveled appearance, as if he were personally responsible for her current state Max blushed and touched her nest of hair She didn’t even have to look in a mirror to kno terrible she looked now

Shyness and shaed within her, and she quickly hunched her shoulders to try to hide her appearance and went to Riftan, as beckoning her to follow him upstairs He led her to the room at the end of the hall on the third floor and he carelessly tossed her bags into a corner of the roo more than to collapse on the bed, but she didn’t want to mess up the blankets and sheets When she started to re, turned to leave

“I have ordered them to prepare a bathroom sleep after you wash”

“W-what about you Riftan?”

“I need to watch and there are updates froot here… maybe take a little break…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Riftan opened the door and left Max lowered her eyes at his continued coldness She doubted he had slept a wink last night, so how could he not be tempted to lie on a bed even for a moment?

She wanted to chase him down and tell hihed in resignation A knock snapped Max out of her thoughts and a restless woman entered with a wooden barrel full of water and a hot kettle

After the woman left, Max locked the door and threay her cold, dirty clothes For several days, she was covered in sweat and dust, so the feeling of ater and soap couldn’t be hly with the soap twice and then rinsed off with clean water She carefully washed her tangled hair and when she was done, she used the leftover water in the kettle to wash off the soap With all the dirt gone, her pale, white skin absolutely glowed She felt like a newborn baby With a happy face, Max got out of the tall barrel and dried herself with a clean towel

But now she had another proble, she frowned: only one pair of clean underwear remained All of her other clothes had either been dammed by the rain or were already dirty with her sweat There was no ti and wait for it to dry, so the only option left was to put the wet, smelly clothes back on

Maybe I should wash it quickly and let it dry asthe acidity e from her clothes, when a soft knock suddenly interrupted her She quickly wrapped the towel around her body and stuttered in an embarrassed tone

“Wh-who is it?”

“Your husband has told e of clothes”

The voice belonged to the woht her the bath water Max went to open the door, and aftersure the hallas empty, she quickly took the clothes from her hands and went back inside It was an old robe that felt rough against her skin, the shi+rt was too big on her as it stretched down to the ankles, but she was just happy to be able to wear clean clothes

Max adjusted a belt around her waist and handed the dirty clothes to the wo your food to your room?”

Max shook her head She wanted to knohat Riftan was doing and check the other knights in case soot hurt She borrowed a pair of slippers froentlemen went to sit around the tables and enjoy their meals Yulysion was the first to see her, and immediately jumped out of his seat to approach her
