Chapter 440: 440
I knew that my behavior was childish and stupid, but I still couldn’t stop acting like that . I didn’t think Assisi would go along with my words, but when he said ‘I understand’ so casually, I couldn’t stop myself from feeling horrible . I felt hurt, and I tried to deny what I heard . I wanted to laugh, thinking it was a joke .
At the same time, I could feel myself getting into an endless cycle of guilt .
Since that day, I hadn’t said a single word to Assisi . I would smile and greet him, but the coldness between us made an awkward air for the party . Even Havel’s guards were shocked by it .
Surprisingly, Valer didn’t react to it much, but he was very annoyed . I convinced myself that he would get over it and somehow untwist the situation, but when I looked at his eyes, filled with anger, I decided to keep my mouth shut . I hated myself for letting things go this far, but I couldn’t stop halfway .
Oh shit, I didn’t know . I would stop thinking about Assisi! I wouldn’t do this anymore!
“It was easy crossing the border . ”
“Shocking, brother . Look here . It was all because of this man . ”
Ahin laughed at Valer’s words .
With a certificate from Agrient and an invitation that acted as a passport, it was easy to cross the border . No matter how close we were to the enemy country, many traders and merchants still went back and forth between Bureti and Shertogenbosch . Ahin could make us pass without creating suspicion .
“We will be arriving at the capital . ”
“This is a small country . ”
Agrigient and Schertogenbosch had significantly large landmasses; coming to Bureti made me realize how small it was in comparison . Bureti made me realize how huge the other two countries were .
After getting used to God’s Wall, which made the sky look pale, seeing a blue sky made me feel weird . I was sure I came into Bureti; however, I couldn’t see any witch’s barrier .
Would a witch’s barrier look different from God’s Wall?
“The roads are well maintained . ”
Havel hadn’t said a single word .
It didn’t seem like a big deal, but the roads of Bureti were a lot wider and comfortable than in Sherto . Even the roads between villages and towns differed for wagons and people .
Although a small country, this was a country so developed that it couldn’t be ignored .
That could probably be why the country still stood after hundreds of years of persecution from Sherto .

The weather hadn’t changed much compared to when I was in Sherto, but considering that Bureti was far from Sherto, the weather was still great . Anyway, others treated this place as a weak country, but there were so many things to see in Bureti since it had a history longer than Agrigient .
The most impressive thing above all was the number of working women .
Of course, women worked in other countries, too, mainly in handling shops, farming fields, or raising livestock . However, in Bureti, women were ruling the city .
I sort of had a cultural shock . Indeed, this was a country ruled by a queen . Others said that the world was slowly falling into a patriarchal society, but things were happening here, which the other countries couldn’t even dream of .
“Well, it’s small, but I think it’s great precisely because it’s small . ”
Small was a lot better than having a colossal but unmanaged land .
From a distance, I saw flags with the country’s symbol, the Deer-horn Opal .
It was the same pattern on the necklace my mother left for me . I wasn’t an opal . Ahin said that it was a special kind of gem . As I took out the necklace and looked at it, I could feel a strange feeling captivating me .
Valer or Ahin thought that I had come to Bureti to deal with some sort of business . I didn’t speak, and they didn’t ask .

Of course, I came here to do something . Go on a trip .
However, if I told them my reasons, it was obvious what they would say . Thus, I just shut up . Sometimes, one had to protect their dreams .
All I knew was that I had to come here, but when I arrived in Bureti, I realized how reckless I was . I thought I knew why I wanted to come, but I couldn’t put it in words .
“Uh? I can see the city’s wall . It looked like that’s the capital!”
Finally, we had arrived .
There was Uprichit, which we had to see, but after coming to Bureti, I thought the trip would come to an end . Seeing my dad’s act, it felt like he would catch me soon .
The necklace kept on vibrating . Was it because of my mood?
Maybe it was like a cell phone . Or beeping? There was no sound, so it wasn’t a beep .
Hey, hello?

“This necklace, why is it crying?”
Did I do something wrong? I did no such thing .
Ah, Assisi? Was it because I behaved wrongly with Assisi? That couldn’t be . The necklace vibrated as if I was getting a real phone call . As we walked along the avenue with our horses, I wondered why the necklace was acting up . That was when Valer took my hand and pulled me back .
Uh . Huh?
“Abandon your weapons and raise your hands!”
Soldiers? I was embarrassed .
It wasn’t just men who were embarrassed . The tips of their spears were sharp .
“Uh? Huh?”
What kind of situation is this!?
