Chapter 5: Keen Eyes See Through All... Do They, Though?

“So, Her Highness made this castilla herself...”

Upon receiving Mia’s gift, Ludwig observed it carefully. The castilla was vaguely mushroom-shaped with a brown cap and a yellow stalk. Sugar had been sprinkled over the top, making it look quite saccharine.

After thoroughly taking in the castilla, Ludwig suddenly took a bite. A lush sweetness spread over his tongue, and the scorch marks left an aromatic, full-bodied scent. It was truly tasty, yet Ludwig couldn’t help but scowl.

It is delicious, but it’s too sweet for my tastes. The moment that thought crossed his mind, he caught sight of Anne inside the carriage from the corner of his eye. Seeing her enjoy the cake and laughing by Mia’s side, he suddenly thought, How wonderful. I’m glad she was able to eat this castilla by Her Highness’s side.

Ludwig had a vision of Anne asking him for earnest advice. “I’d like to treat Her Highness to some castilla, but do you know where or how I could get some?” she had asked, strained and tormented. Just when had he seen her look so exhausted? He took a moment to consider this question and realized it was a fragment of memory from a world no longer.

That’s right. That never happened. She was never in such a state, and yet, it feels so real... Is this the wavering of worlds, a memory from a timeline that has already reached its end? Ludwig scowled and groaned. I know not what that world was like, but it did not seem to be a happy one...

The emotions those memories left behind were bitter, and Ludwig wished to never feel them again. Thus, he made a silent resolve. I must protect this world no matter what.

“Is something wrong, Sir Ludwig?”

He looked up to find Abel watching him curiously. “No... I was simply trying to determine if there were any dangers I had overlooked.”

Ludwig had thoroughly prepared for this undercover journey. He assigned six squads of the Princess Guard to the task, having four lie in wait further up the road and two accompanying them from a distance. Additionally, he had Ka Aima and her warrior wolf Hasuki on the lookout as well. He had mobilized as many forces as possible that would still prevent drawing too much attention. As for the personnel loss the provision shipments had suffered, the private forces of Duke Redmoon had stepped up to fill the hole. The connections Mia had made at the horsemanship tournament were already proving fruitful.

Rather than predicting this situation, she was likely trying to procure backup forces for the Princess Guard. Still, she truly is amazing.

Thus, Ludwig had prepared the ultimate set-up, but he couldn’t completely wipe away his worries.

“Ha ha! I don’t think you’ve got too much to worry about.” A knight—Dion Alaia, the Empire’s Finest—had brought his horse close to the carriage. He was dressed in tattered leather armor to disguise himself as an unskilled guard and wore a grin that looked free of worry.
