“Carol, come back in,” I called in a slightly raised voice.

Carol re-entered the room from where she’d been waiting outside the door. She looked unhappy, for some reason.

“Your Highness, I’m glad you’re safe... It gives me relief.”

Myalo straightened herself up and greeted Carol.

“Yeah... I’m glad to see you’re okay too, Myalo.”

“Hm?” Myalo looked at Carol with a look of confusion, like she sensed there was something different about her.

“Carol, Myalo, sit down,” I said.

“Okay,” they both agreed.

Two of us were on the couch and the other took the chair.

“We’re missing a member, but let’s have a leadership meeting anyway,” I said.

“Liao’s currently locating all the unit members. It could get chaotic if we realize someone’s missing later.”

I didn’t need to hear about the state of the unit just yet. I decided I’d let Myalo know about my own situation before asking her to bring me up to date.

“When I arrived a while ago, the prince consort said he’d like to speak to me. That’ll be...” I looked at my watch. “...in about three hours. I can’t leave without talking to him. Naturally, I couldn’t say no. Given her high status, I’d like Carol there too.”

It would likely be Carol’s last chance to meet with the Kilhinan royal family. It would be incredibly rude if someone in her position visited the castle, but only gave a brief greeting to the prince consort and spent no time with the queen. I couldn’t let that happen.

“I see. In any case, the unit won’t be ready to withdraw until tomorrow. I’m hoping we can set out early in the morning,” Myalo replied.

“All right. Once this meeting’s over, I’d like you to go back and begin those preparations.”

“Roger that.”

Myalo really didn’t need any instruction from me when it came to things like this.

“The other thing is that Carol and I have injured legs, which means we can’t run.”

“Injuries...? But you can still ride birds and horses, can’t you?”

“That’s right. We each need to carry a crutch, and someone will probably have to help us mount and dismount.”

“That’s a relief. Oh, but there won’t be any long term effects, I hope?”

“Probably not.”

“Well then... Could I hear a little about what happened after the crash?”

“Are you asking out of curiosity?”

Now didn’t feel like the right time to recount everything that had happened.

“It’s not an urgent matter, but...I’m sure it’ll be the main thing on the minds of other unit members. I think it’s worth having something to tell them.”

That’s a fair point.

As the leaders, our minds were constantly occupied by thoughts about the near future. Most soldiers, however, were different. The first thing they’d want to ask Myalo about would be the crash. Besides, we didn’t want to give anyone a chance to make up their own wild stories.

“I’ll give you a brief summary then.”

“Okay.” Myalo’s eyes lit up like she couldn’t wait to hear it.

I’m going to have to tell this story over and over, to countless people, aren’t I?

“When we crashed, Carol had sprained her ankle so badly that she couldn’t walk, so I had to carry her on my back to Nikka Village.
