The Imperial Family and the Black Wolf Knights

The group ended up leaving Phinis the following day. Inside the carriage, Curtis hung his head guiltily. “Forgive me for delaying our departure.”

“Come on,” Allen replied. “We don’t blame you for being hurt.”

“Well, it’s not just that, but the fact that you were even able to heal me...” He looked at Riese. He had remained conscious, though barely, while convalescing. He knew who had healed him. “Riese, are you... No, never mind.”

“Hm?” said Riese.

Noel spoke up, trying to cut through the awkward atmosphere that had suddenly developed. “So...the Black Wolf Knights? They lifted the blockade on that town, but can we be sure they aren’t lying in wait for us up ahead?”

For a moment, the change of subject made Curtis smile slightly with relief, but he quickly realized it was not an easy question to answer. “That seems unlikely. What would be the point?”

“It would be logical,” said Mylène.

“If it was anyone else, that would make sense, but they’ve never been concerned about needing to get the jump on their enemies,” Curtis replied.

“They have the power to put a plan like that in place, though, don’t they?” asked Riese. “Of course, having the power and actually being able to use it are two different things.”

“They’re Black Wolf Knights because they’re able to put their plans into practice. They wouldn’t be much use otherwise.”

“So you’re saying we don’t have to worry about being ambushed on the road?” Allen asked.

“That’s right. We can’t afford to completely let our guard down, but there’s no need to be unduly cautious.”

That seemed to assuage their concerns. After seeing Curtis’s heroism the previous day, they more readily accepted his explanations. Riese had seen with her own eyes how, despite his injuries, he had rushed to the child’s rescue, and the others had heard about it from her.

They didn’t seem to have noticed how much more trusting they’d become, but Allen didn’t feel the need to point it out, as it was likely to cause more problems than it solved. Besides, even he had to agree that there was little need to continue being so wary of Curtis. Staying vigilant had been surprisingly tiring, so if the other three could relax a little, it was for the best.

“But doesn’t that mean they’re heading for the capital ahead of us?” asked Noel.

“I imagine so,” Curtis answered. “Only a portion of the Black Wolf Knights were in the last town, of course. Once we reach the capital, we’ll encounter the whole group. Well, actually, we can’t be sure that’s how it will play out.”

“What do you mean?” asked Riese. “We might encounter others too? A real knightly order?”

“Not exactly. Whatever those Black Wolf Knights in Phinis were after, it must have had something to do with my sister.”

“That makes sense,” said Allen.

“Right. But now we have to wonder what their true goal is.”

“Isn’t it just to get Anriette to the capital?”

“Possibly. And if their duties end there, so will their right to move against us.
