Chapter 826
I packed for my journey to Bleiyu Village
“Did you think you could go with Mr. Takumi, as if you were vacationing? Hmm… I see… So you were just pretending to have the same thoughts as him…”
“N-no! I would never do that…!”
Claire objected, but her face was turning red, and she did not have half as much force as before.
The idea that she was thinking of me, did make me a little happy… But it was awkward, when Sebastian put it like that…
“Well then, it should be three days from now. Until then, preparations will be made. You will ride on Leo for the journey there. But since Phillip and Nicholas will accompany you, it will be at the speed of a horse.”
“Yes.”
“Wuff!”
In the end, Claire could not argue against Sebastian, and agreed to wait for my return.
As for Phillip and Nicholas, they would guard me in the village while Leo was away… To be honest, that was also uncomfortable. But some precautions had to be taken. Though, I would do my best to be careful as well.Phillip had been with me in Range village, and I had gone to the forest a few times with Nicholas. That was why they were chosen.
Since we were familiar, we could pretend to be fellow travelers, so they would not look like guards.
Ms. Lyra was also coming, so that she could ride Leo back to the mansion.
While it would be hard for her, I was glad that she would be with Liza.
As for how I would get around without Leo, I was to ride with Phillip or Nicholas.
This was because I could not ride on my own. It made me seriously think about taking lessons.
Also, I had to make herbs before the trip. So I would be quite busy…
And though I felt bad for Claire, she would just have to be satisfied with the stories I brought back.
“Papa. Over here?”
“Yes, that’s right. Uh, and…”
“Mr. Takumi. Lady Liza. Over here.”
“Thank you, Ms. Lyra.”
“Thank you!”
“Wuff!”
Two days after my trip was decided.
I was using the time before dinner to pack. But outside of my sword, it was just putting clothes into a bag.
Leo was helping Liza by using her paws to hold the bag open.
At first she tried to help her fold her clothes, but it was a little too difficult.
Instead, Ms. Gelda folded them and handed them to Liza.
Everything other than clothes would be prepared by the guards.
“I’m sorry for asking you to come with us, Ms. Lyra. Especially after the forest and even Range village…”
“Not at all. Even though it is rather tiring… But it is my job to help you. And that does not change when we are out of the house.”
While not every time, Ms. Lyra did seem to go out with us a lot. And while I was grateful, I was also a little concerned.
She was not as tough as Phillip. And long travels would be taxing.
“Though it is just on the way there, I am looking forward to your delicious cooking. Thank you.”
“Sister Lyra! Thank you!”
“Wuff! Wou!”
“It’s nothing… I want to do it. There is no need to thank me…”
She replied, both surprised and a little embarrassed. It was unusual to see her like that.
Well, perhaps as a servant, she was not used to people expressing their appreciation this much.
