As time passed, we found ourselves nearing the capital.
Days of travel accumulated fatigue in our bodies.
At the same time, thinking about the forthcoming tasks brought an involuntary headache.
I wondered how many bothersome matters wed get tangled with in the capital.
All I wished for was to finish only the necessary tasks and return to Stockpin.
Meanwhile, Gale approached me, steering his horse closer.
The capital should come into view soon.
At his words, I looked ahead.
Yet, nothing was in sight.
I sighed and asked Gale, When do you think well be able to return?
Gale shrugged.
Who knows? Perhaps once His Majesty deems enough time has passed, hell allow us to go back. It might not be anytime soon, though.
...
Dont worry, Berg. Ill be here to help you.
Gale promised to stay by my side.
With each promise, I felt a bit more at ease.
Then, Gale warned me.
Berg. There are things to be wary of in the capital.
I looked at Gale, appreciating his cautionary advice.
He continued, Its best to avoid the nobles.
What do you mean?
The capital is home to various families. Carelessly stirring trouble might land you in an undesirable position. Especially with the issues surrounding the Saintess, its bound to be noisy.
...
I nodded in agreement, adding, I dont want to get unnecessarily involved either.
Thats good to hear. But remember, whatever happens, Ill be here to assist you, so dont worry too much.
...I understand.
After a brief silence, Gale, sly as a snake, suddenly asked.
Speaking of which, Berg...
...?
...How about we train together while were heading to the capital?
That topic again.
Now, it brought a smirk to my face, as if Id heard an amusing joke.
Gale smiled as well.
It seemed he was always planning to teach me, whenever that might be.
I let out a sigh.
Maybe it was because of all the recent complications that I felt an itch to move my body more vigorously.
I looked at Gale.
...
And then, I nodded slightly.
Considering I had been somewhat resistant to training with Gale due to the issues with Sien... I could no longer find a reason to refuse.
Gale responded to my nod with a smile.
A wise choice, he said.
I looked ahead again.
...Berg.
...?
How are things with your wives?
I saw Arwin and Ner driving the horses ahead.
