Chapter 177 – Arriving at Grenrok.

After some time talking, our meat was ready so we woke up the two who were still sleeping to eat.

Everyone until the meat and didn't complain, but I must admit, the meat was very tasty.

Syl was still sleepy, so I let her lie on my lap before I finished eating, it was a comical scene, a child lying on another child's lap, but Lincy's father just watched, said nothing.

'I think everything is ready now.' I woke up Syl who had gone back to sleep on my lap and then used water magic to put out the fire that was still burning, it would be a problem if that fire spread somewhere.

Even if there isn't a lot of grass around, I prefer to do that.

"So shall we continue now?" Lincy's father started messing with the horses and also feeding them, of course, the horses' food was in my storage so I had to deliver it to him.

And after he took care of the horses for a while, we were prepared to start our journey again, it is our first day making a camp, we will have to do it a few more times.

We got into the carriage and started the journey, Lincy hadn't said anything since she woke up, she also had a sleepy face, I thought she was used to getting up early.

She worked as a maid, I think it should be normal for her to wake up very early, well, whatever, I won't ask about it, if she wants to sleep on the way she can do it.

"Syl, did you sleep well?" I asked Syl who was resting his little head on my shoulder.

She yawned and then said, "I slept well, but I'm not used to waking up early, I think I could tell, hehe." I think that was the weakest, unmotivated laugh I've ever heard.

Look, it's not that early, maybe it's seven in the morning now, I think we should have even started the journey earlier, well, it's okay if we take a little longer.

"And did you sleep well?" She asked as she lifted her head from my shoulder, she must be trying to stay awake, not like that girl over there.

I looked at Lincy and she was sleeping while resting her head on the carriage, I will just let her sleep, but I think it will be a problem.

"I slept well, very well." I'm not going to deny that I need to stay alert all night, but even if I do, I can still sleep very well and I'm not sleepy at all, having such a strong body is wonderful.

"I understand." Syl rubbed her eyes and seemed a little more excited to continue the journey, while Lincy was still sleeping in the corner of the carriage, I think I should wake her up.

If she sleeps in the afternoon, she will not be able to sleep during the night, that would be a very big problem, I do not think that people who exchange the night for the day are healthy.

'There's no other way.' I must wake her up, I will just shake her up a little and call her, it should be enough to make her wake up, Lincy must not be sleeping so deeply.

"Hey, Lin-" But before I could call or touch her, Lincy's father who was driving the carriage, also noticed that his daughter was sleeping.

"Lincy, wake up, are you an idiot? You won't be able to sleep at night." A phrase spoken in a slightly loud voice was enough to make Lincy wake up quickly, even I was a little scared.

Syl who was there didn't even care about it, but Lincy was wide-eyed and struggling to stay awake, she should stay that way for the rest of the afternoon.

'I think she really respects your father, hahaha.' I started to laugh in my mind, holding myself back from laughing in the carriage. I think Lincy realized that she was looking at me with a look of sadness.

She must be embarrassed, it is better to keep from laughing and not comment on it.

It was a peaceful trip, along the way some monsters appeared, but I killed them easily, and of course, I took their bodies so I could sell them when I get to Grenrok, I can't waste this chance to earn money.

Lincy never slept again, I think she was afraid of her father, whenever she realized that her father was looking at her, she would look away.

But she didn't seem to be that scared, she just seemed to be preventing him from yelling at her, but at no time did she give the impression that she hated her father or he was violent.

'I don't think I need to worry about that, they are a very cute family.' I shouldn't worry about her being mistreated by her father, I think that's impossible, it's out of the question.

"You are a very strong little girl, now I understand why my daughter trusted you so much." During the trip, Lincy's father told me this a few times, and of course, he also asked what I had done for his daughter.

I just said that I helped her out of the mansion since she was practically trapped inside, but I didn't tell you that I killed the mayor, of course.

I think he doesn't even know that the mayor is dead, he probably thinks the mayor is under arrest or something, but of course, the news of his death will spread at some point, it won't belong.

'I will be prepared for when that happens.' I just hope there is no news saying "This little girl killed the mayor of a city, I will give a reward to anyone who brings her alive or dead." I imagine that old woman doing this.

Well, I think I'll wait and see, I just hope it's not that, I won't feel well being chased by the whole kingdom, I will have a lot of difficulties if something like this happens.

"What is it? Do you look very thoughtful?" Lincy with her arms crossed looking bored asked.

I just looked at her and said, "I am thinking how bad it must be to be hunted across the kingdom while they are trying to kill you."

"You have strange thoughts." Lincy's father said.

"You really are thinking about crazy things," Lincy said while looking at me with scornful eyes.

Wait, why is that? It's just a thought that someone might have at some point, I think I shouldn't have said what I was thinking about and the truth.

"Are you alright?" No, until you Syl? I thought I was the only one who would understand.

Well, I think that is a really strange thought.
