Chapter 169 – Getting ready for the trip.

After leaving the mayor's office, I went after Syl and Lincy who was in one of the mansion's rooms, I had to plan our going to Grenrok now, it will be a little complicated, but I think I can find a method.

There are no escort missions for Grenrok here, so it would be impossible to use a carriage from some nobleman or traveler to go there, I would have to find a way to go without using an escort.

I could try to get some horses and carriages, I think I can get some at the mansion, nobles always use horses and carriages, so there must be some around here.

'But who was going to drive the carriage? I don't think I can do that. ' Just the thought of driving a carriage gave me the creeps, I think I would have a panic attack if I had to.

"Lincy, here in the mansion there's a horse carriage, isn't there?" Since she's been working here for a long time, I think it's best to ask her first.

"Yes, it is at the back of the mansion, there is a small stable where the horses are also."

Seriously there is that? I don't remember seeing that, well, but if she is saying it must be true, the only problem now is whether I can take this carriage with me and whether anyone is willing to drive it.

"So, I wanted to use the carriage to go to Grenrok, is there a problem?"

"Well, you have to speak to the new mayor, but I think that if it is you he will borrow the carriage." Seriously? I just talked to him, but I'm going to have to go back to his office, I should have talked to him about it before.

"But there is also another problem, I have no one who can drive a carriage over there, do you know anyone?"

Lincy thought for a moment and replied, "Well, my dad used to drive a coach for traders for a long time, but I'm not sure he would do that again, we can try to talk to him."

Did her father drive carriages? I wouldn't imagine that, I hope he'll agree to drive the carriage for us, maybe he'll accept it because his daughter is with him, but first I'll have to talk to Lutz again.

I don't think he's going to use the carriage for anything now, so he can't refuse to borrow the carriage.

"Syl, stay here with Lincy for a while, I'll talk to Lutz and I'll be right back." There I go again going to his office.

"It's all right."

"So easy?" I swear I thought he was going to have a problem lending me the carriage, but it seems that it was not as I thought, thankfully it was so simple, I would not be able to find another means of transport.

I could fly away taking both, but imagine if someone sees us flying? It would be a big problem if that happened, I prefer to keep my flying magic a secret for now.

"Well, I said I would always help you, and I don't see any use for the carriage at the moment, I don't think that's a problem."

It makes perfect sense, but he doesn't have to worry about it, as soon as we get to town I'll have the carriage brought back, so he wouldn't be without it for a long time anyway.

"Okay, I'll be going then." I said goodbye to Lutz and went towards the exit of the room, before I could leave, he said: "I hope that you will appear, here again, I am sure that the city will be much better than now."

"I hope so."

I closed the door and went towards the room where Syl and Lincy were, I got there in a short time and started to tell everything that had happened, and that he had lent me the carriage, and of course, I asked for Lincy's help.

First, we would go to Lincy's house to talk to his father, as he was a person who is used to driving a carriage, and he is a reliable person because he is from Lincy's family, I think it's okay to call him for that.

"Can we come to your place now? I'm sure you really want to see your mom and dad too." Lincy would take this opportunity to also speak to her family, it seems that she has not done so for some time.

"Thanks, I'll get ready and I'll meet you downstairs." Lincy was still wearing a maid outfit, so she'll switch to a regular outfit, and of course, I didn't care.

I went down the stairs with Syl and we stayed there to wait for Lincy to go down, the maids were still walking around the house because they haven't been released yet. After all, there's no way to do that now.

Since he hasn't built anything yet and has nowhere to put women to work, they continued to work here, but of course, as more freedom than before. I think now they are happy to work here, even if it is only for a few weeks or days.

"She's taking a while." It had been a while since Lincy was upstairs, but it's kind of obvious why she would be late, she needs to pack up.

"Lincy will be traveling with us, so you need to pack your clothes, shouldn't you be doing that too? I'll wait for you here." Syl could take advantage of being at the mansion to pack her clothes.

"You can come with me?" Syl looked at me with a sad face, and of course, I couldn't deny that.

I hope Lincy doesn't get here before us, maybe she thinks we left without her and she might end up going crazy, so we have to do it quickly, I hope she doesn't have many clothes.

"Okay, but it has to be quick, we have to get back from Lincy."

"Okay."

Syl took my hand and started to drag me with her to her room, I don't know where we are going to put the clothes, but she must have some kind of bag for this, so it will be easy.

Before long we arrived at his room, we talked to a maid on the way to find out if she had a suitcase somewhere, as it looks like there was nothing like that in Syl's room, and the maid said she had some bags in the former mayor's room.

Syl was a little uncomfortable with that, so I offered to fetch the suitcase alone, I don't want to force her into her father's room, so I went along with the maid to fetch some suitcase.

All the way the maid said nothing, it seemed that she was avoiding me, maybe she is one of the maids who was against me, so I didn't say anything to her either.

A maid passed by and smiled at me, this one is definitely on my side.

We got to the room and there was a huge closet, in addition to clothes, there were some boxes and also bags.

"How many bags do you need?" The maid asked in a firm voice.

"I think only one is enough."

"Right." She took one of the bags and handed it to me, after that I just went back to where Syl was, I feel uncomfortable walking with people like that.
