Chapter 153

Chaptet 153

I said so, brushing off the dirt that had accumulated on the seat next to me.

"Lady Lombardy."

Migente Ivan looked at me pitifully, wondering if I thought I was denying reality.

But I shook my head.

And I lifted the part where the hip touched.

It was a hidden space containing simple food to eat and drink in the carriage.

It was specially made by Clerivan for me, who couldn't stand the curiosity of food.

Fortunately, I saw a couple of full water bottles, bread to eat, and chocolate cookies.

That bread was given by Violet a few days ago, and the chocolate cookie was put in by Perez.

I choked up when I thought of precious people, but I didn't cry.

I can't waste water and energy in my body like that.

I spoke in a casual voice to Migente Ivan, who still looked at me with anxious eyes.

"I'm sorry to say this, Sir Ivan. That's right, it can be difficult if Sir Ivan alone is trapped in this carriage."

If so, it's probably only Ivan's people who are trying to get this carriage out.

"But in here, I'm with you. That meant a lot of people would be moving in search of this carriage. Because I'm Lombardy."

"Ah..."

"The Lombardy family will try to save me with every resource possible. Oh, and His Highness Second Prince."

I can't tell Migente Ivan, but it also includes Clerivan and Pellet.

Yeah, everybody's gonna move.

"So we just need to stay alive until a lot of people get rid of all that dirt and rock."

I'm not actually saying this to Migente Ivan.

It was a word to myself that kept getting anxious.

Fortunately, my mind calmed down as if it worked.

In my clearer mind, a little rough, warm hand that wrapped around my hand came to my mind.

They're coming to save me.

I thought as I gripped the spout of the cold water bottle.

John, the butler of the Lombardy family, pulled the red paper from the ankle of a bird flying over the mansion with a dark complexion.

The red paper meant urgency.

Besides, the kind of bird was a big hawk.

It was a species that was faster than a regular bird but was rarely used unless it was too precious to be on the verge.

After confirming the contents by urgently opening the letter, John immediately moved on.

Clack, Clack, Clack.

At first, he was walking a little faster, but it gradually got faster.

By the time he got to the Lord's office, John was running completely.

Blow.

Today is the third day of the week.

After a long time, the householder and the brother and sister looked at John at the same time.

"What's going on?"

Interfering with the meeting, Lulak asked, assuming something had happened.

"Gasp!, Lad- Lady Florentia... in- in a landslide..."

"What?"

Lulak couldn't wait and jump up and grabbed a red piece of paper from John's hand and read it.

"...Father?"

After hearing the name of Florentia, Gallahan also strode up.

Gallahan simultaneously checked the contents of the paper.

Bruk.

Gallahan staggered with a pale face.

"Gallahan."

Shannanet quickly approached and assisted Gallahan and asked Lulak.

"What's the matter, Father?"

"Tia... This is the message from Lord Ivan that she was swept away by a landslide."

"...What did you say, now?"

Shannanet quickly read the letter, doubting her ears.

"No way, no way. Tia, why..."

Gallahan was mesmerized and muttered, unable to breathe properly.

Shannanet's hand, which held Gallahan's shoulder, was shaking.

Lulak read the letter again as if to confirm and said.

"Not a single sentence here that says about Tia. It's just that the wagon was washed away by soil."

And he immediately grabbed Gallahan's clothes hard and forced him up.

"Wake up, Gallahan! You're Tia's father. What if you lose your mind?"

The consciousness was also returned to Gallahan's eyes, which had been blurred by the loud voice of Lulak.

"My father said... That's right. Our Tia could still be safe in there. Yeah, that's right..."

Gallahan's body, which was shaking like a quince, gradually stopped shaking.

And Gallahan, who rose, clenched his fist and said.

"I'll go to Ivan. Please include the Knights of Lombardy."

Lulak nodded his head.

"Take all the First and Second squad Knights."

It meant to leave the least amount of troops to protect Lombardy's mansion.

"Twins can run fast and it'll help. I want to see if there's any equipment in the Lombardy mine in Ivan that can help to rescue."

Shannanet said.

"We will take care of the latecomers and send them. I'll give you news from Ivan to the West, so Gallahan, you can start right away."

"Please, father."

Gallahan stormed out of the Lord's office, as if when he stumbled.

Lulak then told John.

"John, get the carriage ready."

"Yes, Lord."

John ran out as well, and Lulak took his breath for a moment to get ready.

But he had to do it again and again because of his shaky hands.

Shannanet, who was not able to see it, approached and asked, helping him get dressed.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the Palace. I'm going to ask Jovanes to give me an Imperial Order."

"If it's Imperial Order..."

"To all the Lords of the Mansion on the road from Lombardy to Ivan, make sure that the Knights of Lombardy pass without check, and keep the gates open at night."
