Gordon gritted his teeth and said, ”We are still discussing I wanted to take sorasslands to find…” Before he could finish, Jojo immediately shouted ”Good! Why are you still here then?”

Sieg was determined to object but if that was the order of His Majesty's special envoy, he could not do anything

Receiving the orders, Gordon immediately led a few soldiers out of the city After that, Reuben took Jojo to the back to rest Upon Jojo's insistence, they let her stay in the duke's room

With the door closed, Jojo secretly cried in the room the entire day She was restless and afraid that someone would come to deliver bad news

She sat on the bed and looked at Seth's clothes She becaer Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door and a pretty girl holding a tub of water entered

The girl gently handed a wet towel to Jojo She saw that Jojo was in low spirits She softly said, ”Don't cry, I' will happen to His Excellency”

Jojo froze for a irl After that, she asked in a low voice, ”Who are you?”

The girl bowed and replied, ”I was sent here to serve you, Miss”

Jojo nodded and asked, ”What is your na will happen to the duke?”

The girl lowered her head and slowly said, ”My name is Jadelina I have met His Excellency the Duke…I… I just think that someone like him will not die so easily”

The girl was the village head's daughter She was fro at Watt Fortress She had followed Rody and ca area, it was not safe for a young girl like her to go back to the village on her own Rody thought even though she was young she was extremely brave She risked her life and pleaded for arrison and planned to only send her home after the war

When Jojo arrived, Sieg tried to be cautious There were no other woarrison He and Reuben were both old uards How could any of those men take care of Miss Jojo? That hy Jadelina was asked to look after Jojo

Jojo was sad and touched to find so her She took her time to chat with Jadelina

At night, several soldiers at the gates of Watt Fortress were vigilantly on the lookout During the day, they had seen the dom enter the city They were uncertain if the ould continue or not Suddenly, they sao horses gradually approaching from a distance

The first horse was ridden by a brawnybow Behind the brawny man was another horse ridden by what looked like a woman One of her hands held the reins of the horse while the other hand held a dom's fur jackets and they came towards the walls of the city

The three people were Rody, Muse and the strange grassland hunter, Dark

When Rody regained consciousness, he insisted on continuing the journey regardless of his injuries and Muse's tearful dissuasion He knew that he had clearly wasted too rasslands and without his presence at Watt Fortress, the morale of the soldiers would become unstable He was at that time, the Duke of the Tulip Family after all and the Tulip Family represented the banner of the Ih he heard that Reuenthal had retreated, the source of information could not be fully trusted He actually needed more than 10 days to recover from his injuries however, he could not afford to wait another 10 days If anything unfortunate were to happen to Watt Fortress, it would be too late for regrets

Dark knew that the two of theto Watt Fortress despite his injuries Although he did not say anything, he looked at the young led to leave Dark offered to accompany them to the fortress

Muse was a sensitive woe She had never seen many archers as skillful as him even in the Roland Continent

Rody was still seriously injured and unable to ride a horse He could get on the same horse as Muse but she had to hold him with one hand The journey was bumpy but fortunately, the herbal medication was very effective Rody's body was naturally robust Although he sweated a lot due to the pain, he still ed to withstand it

Muse was extremely exhausted It was quite unbearable for her to continuously ride a horse and hold a person at the same time Initially, Dark wanted to offer to hold Rody but then he saw the way Muse looked at Rody He chuckled to hi

With Dark leading the way, they ed to travel srasslands Along the way, they avoided the Loulan Fortress which was occupied by the Great Moon Kingdom Dark seemed extremely familiar with the terrain of the Northwest He knehere all the paths, roads and villages were Muse thought that it was odd but she did not question him Rody was surprised and suspicious

Another thing that disturbed Rody was since he got injured, he could no longer talk with Andy He had lost contact with the sarcastic skeleton The old and strange iven him ideas Rody felt like he had lost someone he could rely on

The soldiers above the walls demanded to knoho they were as they aihed and forced himself to shout, ”Open the door! I have returned!”

While the soldiers were still puzzled, an officer arrived and saw Rody below the walls He was shocked and iates The officer was part of the Central Cavalry so he recognized his commander

The gates were opened and a group of soldiers rushed out They saeak Rody looked and immediately helped him down After that, they placed him on a soft bed Rody had finally calmed down as he lied down on the bed He then smiled at Muse and said softly, ”Your Excellency the Black Veil Saint, please enter the city” After he finished speaking, he winked at her Muse then disazed at the wall She was at a loss Although the both of the on each other for survival, her identity suddenly crossed her mind

If I go in, would I become a prisoner?
