'It sounds like the Demon King's city isn't too far from humanity's so-called north.'
Put another way, maybe humanity's north was the Demon King's city. The demons had been eradicated, so their land must now belong to humanity.
'Why does Veirya want to take us to the north? The Demon King is dead so the warrior doesn't need to go to the border to fight anymore. So for what reason does she want to go to a desolate place like the north?'
We didn't see a soul through the slot from the horse carriage from morning to night. There were no fields on the way, either. It was just a desolate expanse of land. Even birds were few and far between. It certainly was freezing outside. It wasn't snowing, but I felt like the ground was completely white.
The horse carriage I was in was the one carrying the weapons. Inside were the weapons of the guards outside. Long-swords were placed neatly inside a chest.
After ensuring that the chest wouldn't bounce, I took my cloak off and used it as a mat on the ground so that Leah could comfortably lean against it. The curtains on the left and right of the carriage were very thick, so they were enough to keep us warm. So, other than having a bumpy ride in the horse-carriage, everything was fine.
It sounds like we'll be arriving at the town tomorrow, according to the conversation between the soldiers outside.
'I don't really get why Veirya chose to come here. Did she come here on orders? But then the demon race is no more. Who would she be attacking? Could that territory be a reward? But why would anyone reward that sort of land? It's far too barren. It's not a good location in any way. Could it be that she's been banished here?'
Such barren land would be perfect for sending exiled people to. Veirya is a warrior; a warrior who was specifically used to fight against the Demon King. Now that he's dead, what use does the warrior have to offer?
'Discharge a worthy person when he has served his purpose.' Veirya, who has the complete support of the people as well as strength is now the ruler's enemy. Thus making it explainable as to why Veirya was sent here.
However, based on my observations of Veirya, she doesn't seem to be aware of that. I don't intend to inform her. It's not a bad thing if Veirya and that Queen Sisi turn against each other, but... No eggs stay intact under an overturned nest. I need to depend on Veirya right now to survive, not to mention there's Leah to consider, too.
Knowing that we were just one day away was good news to me. The demon form Leah transforms into at night might be a succubus. I think Veirya would probably kill her without hesitation if she saw her. The longer we stay in the horse carriage, the more likely it is she's discovered. The sooner we arrive at our destination, the safer it is.
Leah didn't lean on the chest to sleep. Instead, she sat on my lap and leaned against me as she cheerfully told me about all sorts of things. I sat cross-legged inside the carriage. Leah rubbed her small bottom against my groin since she sat on my lap and told me stories of the demon city.
Unfortunately, my attention wasn't focused on her story, but her warm body's contact with mine. The thought of Leah's position last night, makes me feel...
"Eh? Papa, there seems to be something poking me."
Leah gently twisted her body around and looked at me innocently.
"I'm sorry..."
I looked at Leah's innocent and cute gaze. A strong sense of shame and guilt tormented me to death, but I managed to swiftly grab Leah's hand, which was trying to touch to see what was poking her.
Darkness was going to fall soon so the two oil lamps slotted in on the side of the carriage were lit up. The flame swayed as the horse walked. However, we didn't travel far in the dark, as we soon stopped.
