Chapter 267

Ekaterina, who was allowed to ride Oleg’s horse as she had when she arrived, smiled and waved back at them.

It was like spending the night in a lodge-like pension. And it had an open-air natural hot spring bath. And the food was delicious, so I guess it’s called an outdoor lounge.

Thank you for a wonderful night!

Ekaterina and her group then resumed their journey.

No, before that, there was a scene where Forli flipped out and threw away two sugar beets that had somehow gotten into the carriage.

Maybe those two beets were yesterday’s handsome beet and the other one. Why were they here? If he didn’t notice them, we would have taken them with us as we left. They opened the door of the carriage with a leaf, dexterous. As dexterous as a cat that opens the door of a refrigerator.

And they were so close. They were holding hands, or rather leaves, when they were thrown out of the carriage.

Forli-san, who tossed those two creatures away nonchalantly in the style of harvesting crops, was a marquis by birth, but he was completely well-versed in farming as a Chief of Forestry and Agriculture….

I was worried that the sugar beet would be eaten by forest animals because of its delicious taste, but a messenger of the Great King Bee, which had perched on the roof of the carriage to protect it, quickly flew away. The adult beet, which looked like a bizarre plant, was probably around somewhere, and we should be fine.

“It might have been a good idea to bring some for emergency rations.”

Forli said as if he thought of something, but Ekaterina shook her head.

I was uncertain if I could identify them individually… If I took them with me, I was sure they would become increasingly attached to me.

And if they ended up in my soup, I would cry.

Anyway, after that, the trip went smoothly.

After all, we had fallen behind on the first day and had to make up for it. The driver and the horses did their best, and the group hurried along the road that wound its way through the deep forest.

The journey was leisurely compared to my previous life. Unlike traveling by car or train, the journey was made by carriage, and the horses had to rest periodically to drink water and graze.

During the breaks, I would leave the carriage and wander around the area, or play with Regina and the other hounds.

I helped brush the horses along with the hard-working caretaker to treat the horses, and although I made the elderly caretaker scared to death, I enjoyed learning which of the two horses liked to be brushed and where to brush. Horses were cute.

When I was about to pick some flowers and grass to give to the horses, Mina pointed out that there were some poisonous grasses in the mix for the horses, and I was in a panic to get them checked.

At first glance, it seemed like a sight for sore eyes. A beautiful maid peered into the flowers held by a young lady in her hand, but in fact, it was just to check for poisonous weeds.

The knights’ horses were also given flowers that had been checked. I laughed when one of the knights told the horse that he should understand how grateful he should be to receive flowers from the Young Lady. Forli and the other knights were also laughing.

Sometimes they bought fodder from villages along the road and fed it to the horses, and at such times the villagers would gather to watch.

Ekaterina waved and talked to them, trying to make a good impression, and laughed when most of them thought she was the wife of the duke. It seems that such rumors have spread all over the place.
