Chapter 102

A tragic prayer and a maiden’s sigh...

Three days have passed since they have left with the Forkroad Merchant caravan. And now they are just about to leave the borders of the Holy Principality of Belluga.

A heavy silence lay between the four who hid themselves in a carriage bed. Mia’s cheeks are slightly pale. She is understandably sad and is quiet. Dressed in a riding blouse and easy-to-move shorts, Mia hugged her bent knees tightly.

“Fu ...”

Occasionally, she lets out a sad sigh. Seeing this, Tiona frowns anxiously.

Princess Mia, I’m sure you’re worried.

Tiona tried to think what Mia is going through. Prince Abel, her sweetheart, could be in a dangerous zone. She’s probably filled with grief and anxiety.

Anyway, I must protect Mia and take her to Prince Abel...

Tiona squeezed a slender sword on her waist.

Hopefully, Prince Abel is safe.

Tiona prays silently.

Keith Wood, on the other hand, had a different perspective.

Well now, this is interesting. Even the great Princess Mia cannot escape nervousness.

The land they are heading to, the Kingdom of Remno, is a dangerous territory. Although public security is still maintained overall, the areas where the people have uprised are undoubtedly dangerous places. It is quite possible that their anger at the Remno royal family could be transferred into royalty and nobles from other countries. If their status is revealed, they could be in real danger. Mia surely knows about this. After all, she is the Wisdom of the Empire. This would surely not escape her notice.ÚpTodated novels on no(v)el()bin(.)com

The first barrier to meeting Prince Abel was the border. According to the information obtained in advance, the Kingdom of Remno is currently on high alert. Except for a few selected merchants, people from other countries are strictly restricted from entering and exiting.

“It makes sense of course. The neighboring countries will send people to take advantage of the civil war. They might send help to both factions now, so that they can ask for favors later in the future. Or they might use this chaos to attempt a coup. The Kingdom of Remno is military one. It wouldn’t be surprising for any rulers to take advantage of this disorder to weaken it.”

Keithwood and Tiona nodded to Sion’s words. Mia was vaguely gazing at them.

Ah, I wonder if these people were doing the same thing when my Tearmoon Empire went through a revolution.

“Even so, it works.”

“Miss Chloe’s strategy has been brilliant. Besides, the route formulated by our hidden intelligence unit ...”

Keithwood stopped his talking. Immediately after, something like a scream came up from the driver of the coach.

“Bandits! They’re attacking us!”

“Bandits?”

Sion frowns and looks at Keith Wood.

“This is weird. A caravan if this size should not be... ”

The Forkroad company’s caravan is relatively large, consisting of ten carriages. Of course, at this scale, a private mercenary corps accompanied it as guards. This means that the bandits are taking great risks.

“Even if the public security is bad at the moment, this whole attack reeks of suspicion.”

Sion and Keithwood stood up at the same time.
