Chapter 22 “Sleep well, Princess.” “Good night, Penny.” The small tent was almost completely filled just by Lea and Penny lying down inside it. Soon, the sound of Penny’s steady breathing could be heard beside her. ‘I should go to sleep quickly for tomorrow, too….’ Lea lay wide awake, staring into the pitch-black darkness. As she went over the conversation she had shared with Carion, her memories naturally led to the kiss they had shared. His kiss that night had been…

Chapter 21 “Princess.” “……Yes.” “You really are making me into a shameless person.” Karion said with a bitter smile. “I am the one who should be begging for your help. Not you, Princess.” Then he hardened his expression again, lifted his chin slightly, and said coldly, “To be honest, I do not know if I can trust you, Princess, but I will accept your help.” Lea let out a hollow laugh. His arrogant attitude, as if he were doing her a favor, suited his handsome…

Chapter 20 Thud, thud. Footsteps, seemingly made deliberately loud, could be heard. Everyone fell silent as if they had agreed beforehand when they saw someone approaching them. Cedric approached Lea, bowed his head slightly, and spoke. “His Highness would like to see you for a moment.” “Now?” “Yes.” Lea stood up and told everyone, “I might be late, so you all eat first.” “Yes, Representative.” Penny fidgeted, wanting to follow them, but when Lea did not…

Chapter 19 The next morning, two scouts departed ahead of the group. They rejoined them around evening. “The mountain collapsed, and the landslide has covered part of the road. With a little work, a small carriage should be able to pass through, but Black Castle won’t make it.” Their opinion was similar to what Rea had said. So the group changed their route according to the path Rea told them about. Around noon the next day, the group arrived at the entrance to the forest…

Chapter 18 They traveled throughout the morning, stopping around noon to eat and let the horses rest before continuing on. It was only around sunset that the group finally settled down at a suitable campsite. Penny got down from the carriage and patted her lower back. “Ahh. Riding in a carriage for so long is really hard. My stomach feels all queasy, too.” Penny turned to Leah, who was getting down after her. “How are you still so energetic, Princess?” Leah…

Chapter 17 From early morning, the Poema garrison was bustling with activity. Lieutenant Colonel Martio, the garrison commander, woke the soldiers and assembled them much earlier than the usual roll call. Today was the day the Supreme Commander would leave the garrison, and the day Martio would regain command of the garrison. He could not give the Supreme Commander any excuse to delay his departure. From the moment the Supreme Commander arrived at the garrison, all command authority…

Chapter 16 The Secret Room Beneath the Residence The secret room underground of the governor's residence. It was a narrow, soundproofed room with only a small table and two chairs placed facing each other. Governor Markel, who had been subdued by the soldiers and dragged into this room while he was sleeping, was sitting calmly in front of the table. In fact, he had not been sleeping while waiting for his subordinates. He had already realized that something had gone wrong when the soldiers…

Chapter 15 Rea rubbed the sticky substance she had gotten on her fingertip. “It’s oil. They must have been planning to burn it.” “I clearly told you not to come any closer.” “Your Highness. These are definitely smuggled goods.” Karion’s eyes changed. What the local authority embezzled to make illegal funds was not called smuggling. “Do you know what you’re talking about?” Rea placed the completely blackened wheat on her palm and examined it. “It’s highland…

Chapter 14 Thinking that her smile looked pure, Karion let out a small laugh. ‘Pure.’ Did such a thing even exist in this world? His cynical view of the world had not changed, yet he found it strange that he wanted to believe her words, ‘on the same side.’ Rustle, rustle. The two of them sensed someone's presence almost at the same time. Karion was faster to act. He quickly pulled her by the arm and hid with her in a blind spot. A moment later, Karion narrowed his…

Chapter 13 “Today…….” As soon as Karion opened his mouth, Lea went, “Shh,” and spoke in a very low voice. “Let’s move somewhere else.” Penny’s room was right next to them, so she was worried that Penny might wake up. Karion followed her as she led the way. ‘This is my residence, though?’ She acted as if she were the owner of the place. She had been like that since the day he first met her. She was more than fearless. She acted confidently, as if everything…
