I listened to the clunking of the carriage’s wheels spinning over the stone pavement. The roads in Baltrain and its immediate surroundings were relatively well maintained and usually made of stone. Overall, the nation’s roads weren’t quite as nice. Beaden only had dirt roads, for example, and there were surely plenty of other towns and villages like that too. I had no idea how prosperous Flumvelk was, but I was pretty sure there hadn’t been any major wars on the border for a long while, so I was hoping it was a major city.

I could hear the tumult of Baltrain faintly from within the carriage. It really was quiet in here. The luxurious ride was carrying four people, including me—there were two other knights aside from Allucia and myself. It was relaxing for me that they were familiar faces. Staying in an enclosed space for a prolonged period with total strangers would’ve been mentally exhausting. The same comforting silence could instead feel very awkward.

Unlike a normal journey, the drivers were also soldiers. It seemed they’d only rented the carriages while all the manpower was being handled in-house. Considering the nature of the mission, this was inevitable, but it really made security seem far stricter.

“Guess we’ll be riding by carriage for a while,” I muttered.

“Yes. Please be patient,” Allucia said.

“Aah, no, I’m not complaining or anything. It’s a fresh experience for me.”

As I said, I wasn’t dissatisfied or anything. A part of me didn’t like being personally named for this mission, but I didn’t object. I simply hadn’t ever gone on much more than a normal round trip between Beaden and Baltrain, so a longer journey was new to me.

Our meals and the entire travel plan had been fully worked out by the order, so all I had to do was organize and check my own luggage. It seemed like I was the only one who could just sit back and enjoy the ride. All I had to bring was some traveling expenses, spare clothes, and my sword. This wasn’t some whimsical lone journey, so that was technically more luggage than usual.

“But I guess I’m the only one who’s not used to this stuff,” I said.

“Please try to get accustomed to it,” Allucia said. “You were personally invited, after all.”

“I know that, but still...”

My smile was strained. The only ones able to take a seat were myself, the knights in here, and the people who were taking turns driving the carriage. Everyone else was walking. From a security perspective, we obviously couldn’t have everyone inside the carriages. I understood this, but I felt more at ease being the one protecting others rather than relying on protection. Well, there was an entirely different kind of tension from having someone to protect, but still.

This time around, the carriages were packed with food for the journey and the necessary equipment to camp outside if necessary. As such, there was nearly no space for people. Though, they would probably make space in an emergency like someone getting hurt.
