As soon as I left the manor, I immediately spotted three horse-drawn carriages. Nika was standing in front of one of them. It seemed my assumption had been spot-on: He had been waiting outside for me. He stared at the ground, as if lost in thought, and didn’t look up at me to make eye contact.

Wait...huh? Why are there three carriages? One is obviously Nika’s, and the other must be Mel’s...but whom does the third belong to?

I assumed that the carriage Lily had arrived in (hers, presumably) had been destroyed so as not to leave any evidence. Besides, this carriage didn’t look like hers. It couldn’t have been Seth’s either. He’d gotten here before I had, and so if it had belonged to him, I should have seen it before.

Just as alarm bells were sounding in my head, Zero walked straight past me—directly to the mysterious carriage.

“Thank you for meeting us here,” he said to the driver, who gave him a respectful bow. Then, addressing Nolls, he continued, “Please get in quickly, Prince Nolan. We’re running short on time.”

Ohhh, I get it. So it was Nolls’s carriage.

Wait...that doesn’t answer anything! How the heck did it get here?!

I whipped around to face Nolls and jerked on his shirttail, almost forgetting for a moment that he was the prince of a neighboring kingdom.

“Hold on a sec, Nolls! How did your driver know to come here?!”

“Whaddaya mean? You think I’d hire a personal driver who can’t even figure out where to find me?” Nolls replied, as if it were obvious. He looked at me like he couldn’t even fathom why I’d ask such a pointless question.

“Keeping abreast of Prince Nolan’s capricious behavior is part of the job, and he is amply compensated for that responsibility,” Zero explained, with a pleasant smile.

Okay, but that doesn’t actually explain how he does that, I thought, dissatisfied. Maybe working for Nolls all this time has made him hone his searching skills? I feel kinda bad for the guy...

But when I stopped to consider that Nolls’s country had been destitute enough to start a war before I’d intervened with my prophecy, I saw it in a different light. If they’d recovered financially enough to be throwing money at a carriage driver for something like this, then maybe that was a good sign?

“Well, it sucks that I won’t get to see you finish things off, but I guess we’ve gotta go,” Nolls said.

“Goodbye, now. Best of luck,” added Zero.

“Huh? Uh... Okay. See ya?” I replied.

Nolls and Zero had barged in and inserted themselves into all this mess, but when it came right down to it, they had the least to do with everything that had been going on. I didn’t see much of an issue with them leaving.

I gave them a wave goodbye as I felt a tickle of anxiety at the thought of what would become of me by the next time I met them. But as Zero walked over to the carriage, Nolls walked over to me, stopping just before our noses touched.
