...

After staying in Messiah for a day, Ladia and her family packed their belongings and prepared to head to the Alliance in Horns Bay.

The shop had already been transferred to someone else before she returned home, as the journey was long and they were taking a boat north, so large furniture was also transferred.

The family only brought lightweight items such as coins, jewelry, and clothes, and hired a carriage to leave Messiah.

In anticipation of going to an unfamiliar environment, Lisa seemed very excited, constantly asking Ladia about the customs and people of the Northwest Bay.

"Um... You'll see when we get there."

Ladia felt somewhat guilty, unsure if this child could adapt to the environment there.

Just as they left the city gate, they saw members of the Lichman Adventurer Group waving by the roadside.

They had bid farewell yesterday, so did these old friends still want to see her?

The energetic female team leader jumped onto the carriage.

"Hey! Ladia, we just got a mission to go to the Alliance!"

"So, let's travel together!"

"Um... Sure!"

The consultant responded happily. It was good to have these friends accompanying her on the journey, and they could spend more time together.

The carriage continued on, and everyone chatted along the way.

"What mission did you take this time?"

"This time it's a big one! Definitely a big payday!"

"Oh?"

"Something big happened in the !"

"Eaton Duchy? The one next to the Horns Bay Alliance? What happened?"

"The Grand Duke's younger sister—the Duchess's own sister—disappeared in the Horns Bay Alliance."

"What?"

Ladia's face showed a very shocked expression, surprising Meru with her reaction.

Seemingly noticing her overly sensitive response, the scholar quickly regained her composure and asked lightly, "So, the Eaton Duchy issued a mission at the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Hmph! Initially, the Grand Duke and the Alliance naturally couldn't swallow this indignity, but their law enforcement officers seem to be a bunch of useless drunks who can't even find a little girl. Days passed without any information, so they had to issue a mission at the Adventurer's Guild in major cities."

Ladia's face showed deep concern. "The Duchess must be frantic; her sister is probably her only close relative."

"Huh? Ladia, do you know the Duchess so well? Are you acquainted with her?"

"Huh? No, no. But the Duchess has always been popular in the Eaton Duchy, her virtuous reputation widely spread. I've learned a lot about her from others."

"It seems you're quite worried about her."

"For a ruler who cares about the hardships of the people like her, encountering such a thing, I naturally sympathize deeply."

The Southern Star had sailed for another two days and finally arrived at the

As they entered the harbor, someone approached them as soon as they stepped onto the dock.
