Had Thane not accompanied her, Carla would have traveled this far by herself. There was thus a possibility that she had cast such magic as part of her preparations before she even left her shop.

Thane held his opened palm up above Carla, but he did not feel any resistance whatsoever.

Perhaps it’s only activated when it senses danger?

Come to think of it, when he had woken her up at the end of their coach ride, he had been able to touch her normally as well. Yet it could not possibly be that she had prepared no precautionary measures.

After a moment of hesitation, Thane withdrew his dagger and brought it forcefully down upon Carla’s sleeping body.

The blade, pausing just inches away from her, shone in the sunlight as though nothing had happened. He felt absolutely no resistance then either.

“What the hell is with her?” Thane murmured to himself, furrowing his eyebrows and letting out a long sigh.

She had expressed concern for Thane, who was armed with a sword—and yet she herself had not even used defensive magic despite lacking any physical power or strength.

He could not begin to understand why she held so little regard for herself.

She was like that at the academy as well.

She had shown no fear of Abel, who had pointed his sword at her with an undeniable intention to kill. She had also not been afraid of Lilith, who had manipulated multiple magic circles that were highly aggressive. In fact, he recalled moments when Carla seemed to be taking the initiative to close the distance between herself and a potential source of danger.

And yet, he did not detect in her the questionable aggressiveness of one who had a taste for seeking out dangerous stimuli—something Thane occasionally witnessed in other knights and soldiers.

What he felt was an overwhelming lack of her attachment to her own self.

It’s always about other people.

Whether it was Patricia or the merchant Morgan, who had been reselling her medicine at an exorbitant price, or even Thane, to whom she made complaints as frequently as though she were exchanging greetings—there were moments when Carla seemed to think of the other as someone who had to be prioritized over her own well-being. Perhaps that was how she had to be as the apothecary witch.

Yet for some reason, Thane found it unpleasant.

“Head back to the village... As if I could do that with you in this state. Hey, Carla.”

Even when he shook her lightly, Carla merely frowned in annoyance. She gave no sign of waking.

Her mantle seemed to conveniently serve as a bedsheet, so she should not get cold. But her thin, golden hair already had grass tangled in it.

This hopeless kid.

That was the only way Thane could think of her as he sighed and took another bite of the cookie in his hand.
