Chapter 422: 422
Including too many people in an escape was just an easy way to get caught, so I decided to go with a small party .
Everyone wanted to accompany me, but I knew that Valer and Assisi would be good enough companions for me .
I left the others in the palace with different tasks in hand, and if one wanted to know what it was, well, simple . To disturb dad .
I was quite curious as to who managed to survive after disturbing my dad, but it didn’t hurt to trust people’s abilities .
Maybe not . Caitel was a ruthless and cruel Emperor . On top of that, he was as smart as Ferdel; there was no way he would overlook their actions .
Hopefully, when he found out about what I did, I would have been long gone from our country .
Thanks to our horses running from morning to evening, we managed to reach Ancief in three days .
A victory for us!
After all, there was nothing humans couldn’t achieve when they put their heart into it! Whoa, I felt so proud .
From there, we moved around for two days and arrived in Armeta, the best city in the country . There were numerous things to see there, but our priority was to replenish our strength, so we decided to rest for a day before getting onto our journey .
Ancief wasn’t a safe place, so I had to go over to another country, yet I felt curious to know what happened in Agrigent .
Dad wouldn’t o come to Ancief, right?
“I checked with the merchants, and they said the capital had been blocked . Maybe they’re still looking for people . It seems like they didn’t know about our departure . ”
“It was nice that we rushed to Ancief . ”
“Yes . If we were a little late, we might have been caught at the border . ”
Valer shrugged .
Maybe it really might happen; just the thought made me shudder .
“Are you going to the Northern Empire on the floating ship?”
Havel asked as he heard our conversation .
I turned to Valer . If that was the case, I wanted to visit the next country, Parten-Kiehern, but it seemed impossible with the time we have . Well, Valer came to Ancief, but he was upset that he couldn’t see the fairy forest .
“Well, it would be better to go as far as possible . ”
“Then, it has to be Schertogenbosch . ”
At my answer, Valer smiled .
“I think we can slowly move to Bureti while looking around the Northern Empire . ”
“Right, will dad come over to the Northern Empire in search of me?”
I had an ominous feeling; I felt like he might come over to the Northern Empire .
Huh, huh, it’s probably because of my mood .
Assisi left in the morning and bought the tickets for our journey . We would have dinner and leave .
There were floating ships in Agrient too, but this was the first time I rode one . It was a means of transportation made of floating stones, and to put it simply, it was like an airplane . There were only 40 ships in the world in the shape of a ferry, which only nobles or wealthy merchants could use, and it was the most preferred mode of transportation for people with money .
“Ah, I finally feel like I’m alive!”
As I smiled brightly, Valer said something else .
“I might get sick . ”
I was still worried about Sanse and the others .
I smiled . It was hard for me to sit on the horses for three days straight .
No matter how many lessons I took on horseback riding, doing it as a sport differed from traveling long distances .

After a while, Assisi had to make me sit on his horse since I had no energy left to hold onto my mare . Still, I was fortunate for reclaiming my stamina after resting .
While I sat on the chair with a smile, Valer clapped .
“Let’s have something expensive for dinner! I’ll check out some stores!”
“Something delicious!”
“Obviously!”
With a smile, he dragged Assisi with him and left the room .
Did he like to eat that much? Sure, even I enjoyed eating .
Having food was the best .
Right, wasn’t a trip supposed to be about food? All the beautiful sceneries looked better with a full stomach .
As I stretched out, I saw people coming and leaving . Since our room was expensive, the view from the window was pretty .
Ancief and Agrient differed from each other entirely, although they were neighboring countries .
Above all, I liked the temperature here; it was neither hot nor cold .
A country of eternal spring .
This climate was maintained throughout the year, and after learning about it in geography class, I got inquisitive of the principle behind it! I didn’t mean to say that I wanted to research all my life .
Although it was said that the country had dedicated a third of its land to Agrient, Ancief was still rich .
Drinking water, I get to organize my luggage, but Havel, who was sitting with his chin on his hand, suddenly spoke .
“Is it tough?”

What’s with that question? Did I look tired? Actually, it was tough, but I didn’t think about it because I was desperate to flee . However, for others, it was tiring . They were exhausted .
“Aren’t you tired?”
It was hard for me, but I didn’t think the men were doing that great either .
Havel shrugged upon hearing my question .
“I’m used to traveling . ”
“I envy that . ”
As I smiled, Havel stared at me .
Was there something on my face? It wasn’t like I was in a palace, but I felt weird as he looked at me .
“It’s my first time coming out of the house; it’s tough to leave your home . ”
I hated keeping my silence, so I spoke, but Havel titled his head and asked back .
“Are you regretting this?”
“No…”
Leaving one’s childhood home was never easy .
“It’s fun . ”
Right, it was tough, but I was having fun too .
“I don’t know when dad will catch me and take me back, but coming out like this and seeing people is fun, especially since I lived my life inside walls . ”
“Right . ”

I saw a lot while coming over here . Although all I did was sight-see, it was still a different experience .
What I learned from books about the outside world differed from what I saw while traveling . I was impressed with what I saw; my eyes had opened up to things my dad hid from me . It was shocking .
Everywhere I went, it was different from the others . This country wasn’t a paradise; people weren’t as friendly as I thought .
However, I liked it . Yes, I did; this was the real face of the world .
The world I lived in and this world was not so different .
When I checked on things, I felt something, a sense of relief that I couldn’t explain . My fantasies about Agrient were shattering, but I still felt great .
Should I say that I felt great after knowing that I wasn’t a princess in a fairy tale?
“I know a little bit on why Emperor Caitel is adamant on keeping you with him . ”
I was trying to remember something when I heard Havel’s unexpected words .
“What is the reason?”
How would he know something I didn’t know?
Havel looked into my eyes and said .
“I won’t tell you . ”
… I should just throw him away .
