Chapter 3: Departure from Évrard

A week after Reggie’s recovery, the day of our departure finally rolled around.

Alan was put in charge of the troops. Normally, the prince would be the one with that authority. Unfortunately, Reggie still wasn’t feeling up to snuff, so the plan was for him to stay behind and catch up to us later. Thus, in the interim, Alan was given the title of acting general. Game-Alan was the straight-up commander-in-chief, so I was confident he could handle the responsibility just fine.

“This was meant to be my father’s job,” Alan had grumbled, but Lord Évrard’s injuries were too severe for him to join us on a long trip.

The disorientation of being thrust into a position beyond his rank and his regret over not rescuing his father sooner had probably left him shaken.

During the march, I was to be crammed inside a carriage whenever we traveled along the high road. It felt bad to be the only one taking it easy, but when I tried to protest, everyone unanimously argued back, “It’ll be worse if we can’t depend on you in an emergency.”

If I pushed myself too hard and ended up incapacitated by muscle cramps, it was doubtful I would be able to wield my magic to its full potential. That was a fairly likely scenario, so I was to travel in the carriage as much as possible. Whenever I couldn’t, I would ride with Cain on his horse.

They weren’t wrong to be worried. If I were too exhausted to use my magic, I would be little more than extra luggage.

When we made it to the castle gates, Lady Évrard was there to see us off. She gave me a hug goodbye.

“Come back safe, dear. But in the event things don’t go as planned, I have made arrangements to flee the country together with Vayne.”

If we should fail, she wanted us to run away together. I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Thank you, but I’ll do my best to make sure we come out victorious. And I’ll bring Alan home safe.”

“Then we shall await your return.”

Lady Évrard didn’t say anything about winning at all costs, nor did she ask me to look after Alan for her. This was a war, so you never knew what was going to happen until the moment came. She was prepared for the possibility that we wouldn’t make it out of this unharmed—both me and Alan.

She probably wanted to come with us. But alas, since Lord Évrard was heavily injured, she had to protect the territory in his place.

“Well, off we go!”

I peeled myself away from Lady Évrard and moved on.

The soldiers were already lined up outside the gates. In the center of the formation were Alan and the knights, plus the carriage intended for me. Behind them continued the lines of the soldiers, followed by carriages packed with supplies and commercially minded merchants who planned to join us on the front stretching past them.

“There you are, Kiara.” Alan ushered me toward my carriage as soon as he saw I’d arrived.
