Chapter 133 - 132 – Can Any Of You Pilot A Carriage?

After that conversation, Rieli went up to her room with the maids to pack her things. The maids also had to pack their things, but first, they would help Rieli.

It seems that the two have moved to the mansion since Dala is a single mother and had no reason to return home.

It would also be simpler if they lived here. Previously she only kept her house because Clachel lived there, but after she started living here her mother decided to sell their house.

The guild master supported this idea, he allowed the two to live here without any problems as they had many rooms.

"You're kinder than I thought, you brought two women to live with you like this."

"It's not that. There was no reason for them to continue living in their old house as there was so much space here. And it would also be easier if the two of them stayed here."

"I understand."

"Dala was already living in the mansion before Clachel came to work here. Who took care of their house was Clachel. And after Clachel started working here too, I allowed her to live here too with her mother."

"But it was a good idea. Mother and daughter can always be together, isn't it wonderful? Since she doesn't have a father, she sure felt lonely."

"I thought the same thing."

Maybe an hour has passed since they went to the second floor. We continued to wait for them while we talked about the war. I told the guild master some things I had discovered.

When I told him that the King of Beastled had his throne usurped he was quite shocked. He thought the king was quite competent and he didn't think it was possible to ever happen.

Also, the main guild in the capital of Beastled hadn't contacted him to talk about it. Normally they would share this kind of information, but it seems that this time the guildmaster from the capital of Beastled chose not to say anything.

I told the guild master to try to get in touch with the Beastled guilds so they can try something to stop the war, and he said he would at least try.

Even I don't think it's going to do much good, but it doesn't hurt to try, right?

As we continued to talk, we heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

"Looks like they arrived." The three women appeared. Dala, Clachel and Rieli.

The two maids were now dressed in casual clothes and no longer wore that maid's outfit. Rieli was wearing the same outfit as before, a simple shirt and pants.

"Okay, I think everything is ready," Rieli said as she carried her bags, one in each hand. The bags were big and full of stuff, as women always have lots of stuff.

I'm starting to feel bad. Should I start shopping for more clothes and care more about my appearance?

No, Clachel only had one bag, she was like me.

"Right, but we've taken too long now, haven't we?" Looking out the window of the mansion, I noticed that it was already starting to get dark. I arrived in the capital in the afternoon and so much time passed that it was starting to get dark.

"Yeah, looks like it's already getting to the night. How about staying here today?" The guild master made this proposal and I just couldn't accept it. I had dropped off Sara, Lisandra, and Lisandra's friends at the inn.

"I have some people waiting for me at the inn, I need to go back. Don't worry, I have a place to sleep."

"Right."

"Rest for today and tomorrow morning I'll come here to pick you three up, okay?" I turned to the two maids and Rieli and smiled. The three of them seemed quite at ease and agreed with me.

So we said goodbye and got ready to go to the inn. But before leaving, I had something to say to the guild master.

"Listen, old man. Tomorrow morning I want my carriage ready, all right? Don't think I forgot that."

"Of course, I'll get her ready for the trip, I'll even give you some horses."

"Great, now I'm going." We went to the mansion gate and left. I continued to hold Rose's hand.

When is this girl going to let me go?

"I'll come here tomorrow morning too, wait for me!" Rose said as she waved to Rieli who was in front of the mansion gate along with her father and the maids.

The four of them waved at us and we headed towards the inn.

It was the next day.

When we arrived at the inn yesterday, everyone seemed worried since we were away for so long, but I told them what had happened and they all understood.

They were a little surprised that suddenly new people were going to go with us, but they weren't against it, they looked pretty happy actually.

Lisandra and her friends said: "The more people, the better. This trip will be fun."

It wasn't supposed to be a fun trip as we're running away to avoid an attack, but I didn't say anything and just pretended I didn't hear it. After that, I asked Sara to prepare something for us to eat and we had dinner.

We slept a group in each room and now it is morning.

It was very early, maybe it was still 5 a.m., it wasn't even that bright outside. When I got up, Lisandra who was in bed beside me was still sleeping, she seemed to be having a very nice dream.

I washed my face and went downstairs as I wanted to have coffee before waking the others up.

But when I got there, someone was already waiting for me.

"You should have continued to sleep, I would wake you up later." It was Sara. She was sitting at one of the tables holding a cup and eating a piece of bread.

"I normally wake up early."

"I see. Sit down I'll serve you something."

"Thanks." I sat at and waited for Sara to serve me something to eat.

After she served, we continued to sit there making some plans for the future when we arrived in the village. When I realized, it had already passed about 40 minutes, it was almost 6 a.m.

"I think it's time to wake up everyone, we need to go."

"Isn't it too early?"

"The sooner, the better. If we leave earlier, we will have more time to travel."

"I think I understand. I hope none of them is the hard-to-wake type."

"Lisandra I'm sure it's not, but those three friends of hers..."

"Hahaha, you can wake up at four, I'll go to the room Rose is in."

"Right."

####

It was pretty easy to wake up the four girls. But Lisandra's two sister-friends got a little grumpy after being woken up. Already Ciaphia woke up more excited than she should have.

I've never seen a girl with so much energy.

After we all woke up, I called for Rose who had been woken up by her mother and we went to get the carriage from the guild master's mansion while everyone else ate breakfast.

It was very quick to get there. But unlike yesterday, the guards across the capital had increased in numbers, I think they started to take this war more seriously.

"So you arrived, I've been waiting for you for some time."

When we got there, the guild master was already in front of the gate of his house along with the two maids and his daughter Rieli.

The carriage was already parked there, too, connected to three tall, muscular horses. They appeared to be horses that were often used for this sort of thing.

"I'm sorry, I ended up running a little late."

"Do not worry about it. Here it is, the carriage you asked for. Come here." He went to the back of the carriage where the entrance was. Unlike carriages that didn't have a very secure back door, this one was different.

It had a door with a lock...

And not even talking about the size, this carriage had six wheels in total. Carriages are usually only four, so the size difference for this one was very large.

Inside it had seats for eight people. Four on each side of the carriage. And it had been upholstered, how wonderful.

But we wouldn't all fit in here since there are eight places.

In addition, there is luggage space in a closed hatch on the carriage floor. Where the bags were under our feet.

And because of that, the carriage was extremely heavier than any other. But of course, everyone's luggage wouldn't fit there, some would have to be carried normally.

Even though the carriage is so amazing, I can't get it out of my head that there's no room for everyone here...

It has eight seats and we have 10 people to travel to.

Lisandra, Taciane, Eli and Ciaphia. The four friends.

Sara and Rose. Mother and daughter.

Rieli, Dala and Clachel. The people involved with the guild master.

And there was me too. Altogether there were 10 people to travel, and the carriage had only eight seats.

'But I think I thought of a way for us all to travel.'

"Right. Do any of you know how to drive a carriage?" If any of us drive the carriage, will be room left in the back.

Because there was a space for the coachman to use and someone could stay there.

"I can." It was Dala who raised his hand. How much experience does this woman have?
