Kaid was frozen in a daze, unable to believe the sudden turn of events.

I quickly got into the carriage and raised my voice.

"Then I'll go! Even if you miss me, you have to hold out for just a little longer, Dad."

"......."

"Understand?"

The atmosphere filled with shock showed no sign of abating.

Even Rosaria, who was in the front row to see him off, was still out of her mind.

Hestia, who had been watching the situation from inside the carriage, opened her mouth belatedly.

"......Then shall we set off, Miss?"

"Okay. Let's go now."

Because I did everything I had to do.

I sat back on the soft cushion without any hesitation.

Hestia decided to stay with me while I stayed in the North.

Because she was the person who knew my current physical condition best.

At the words "let's go," Kaid let out a soft breath and covered his eyes. Then he shook his shoulders and burst into loud laughter.

He looked much more relaxed than before.

Kaid, who had stopped laughing, looked at me through the window with an expression that said he had been hit once.

"I don't know where it'll go. It'll be a problem if we keep doing this even when we go north."

"Do you think I would do this to anyone? I remember everything Dad told me to be careful about, you know."

"If that's the case, then that's good."

Kaid said that my current condition must never be revealed to the Northerners.

The reason was that even if they welcomed you with kindness now, you never know when they might change their attitude once they find out the secret.

Even though Muhela, the head of the Kiraas family, did not have the personality to do that...

There's no harm in being careful.

That's why I ended up taking all the escorts with me.

It was a journey fraught with many risks.

"Then I will be going, my lord."

"Let's wait for good news."

Hestia was going to help my body stabilize by capturing the energy flowing from the northern lands in a pheromone stone.

And he said they would continue to study whether there would be a road there.

I prayed in my heart that good results would come from the North.

Kaid turned to me and said.

"They said the Kiraas family would come to the northern border to greet us."

"really?!"

"......."

"It's not because I like it."

really.

I slowly averted my gaze. Kaid's eyes twitched.

But he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he took a step back from the carriage.

I guess it's really time to leave now. I glanced at the people who had come to see me off.

"Am I going to leave without seeing Uncle Dante in the end? What if he gets upset because he didn't see me?"
