Chapter 131: The Wagon Caravan

The wagon caravan traveled through the hills and valleys now brimming with the signs of spring. The caravan was led by a carriage bearing the crest of House Bordeaux, followed by the wagons of peddlers. Mounted soldiers were arrayed protectively around the wagon train, though for some reason, the most closely guarded happened to be a peddler’s wagon near the center of the procession.

As a matter of fact, the Bordeaux carriage at the front was currently empty, while this particular peddler’s wagon was livelier than it had ever been. Angeline’s party (and Marguerite) had been joined by Helvetica and Seren—hence the added security on top of the two adventurers that the peddler had initially hired to guard her wares. By hiding the Bordeaux sisters in with the peddlers, nobody would suspect that this carriage was anything other than part of the merchant’s caravan.

Angeline idly shifted about and sat up straight as the wagon clattered along. From the wagon behind hers, she could hear the strumming of an instrument. Because this wagon was full, Yakumo and Lucille had to ride in another one.

With the reins in hand, the blue-haired lady peddler spurred on the horses, which were struggling against the steep uphill incline. “I guess this is a bit too much weight...”

“I’m sorry for insisting on it,” Seren said, apologetically lowering her head.

“Oh, n-no, not at all.”

“But it is a bit packed in here. I mean, we’ve got plenty of wagons, right?” Marguerite pointed out.

“Then do you want to go somewhere else, Maggie?” Miriam asked with a mischievous smirk.

“Hey, quit trying to kick me out of the group!” Marguerite puffed out her cheeks and leaned back against the wagon’s wall as if to insist she wasn’t going to move an inch.

Angeline stretched out languidly, then glanced out at the scenery they were passing by. “A fine spring day... It’s getting warmer.”

“Traveling outdoors is much easier. I adore this season,” Seren gushed, eliciting nods from everyone else. There wasn’t a single soul in the north who disliked the spring.

Two days had passed since the spring festival. After helping with the cleanup and talking things over among themselves, Angeline and her party had set off from Turnera. The busy spring days had come again, but she could almost still catch a hint of the festival’s aroma lingering in the breeze. As reluctant as was to leave, she also felt that she had been away from Orphen for far too long. Thus, she had settled on returning here in the coming fall.

The matter of the dungeon seemed like it would take some more time. Seren was going to be serving as the chief’s aide—or rather, his proxy. Figuring out the specifics of the dungeon would have to wait until she was officially installed. Hence, the village was abustle once more as construction began on her new house in the village. The carpenters knew they couldn’t display any shoddy craftsmanship for the home of their acting administrator, the sister of the countess.
