Reading a book while stroking Liliana’s hair, I noticed the carriage start to slow down.

“Looks like we’re here,” Sophia said, clapping her own book shut.

Sticking my head out the window, I noticed the Corvut-built road had come to an end, turning into a dirt road leading into a poor-looking village. Apparently, we were closing in on the fortress where the goblin deserters had been last spotted.

The journey had been quite relaxing. I had spent most of my time either reading or learning magic from Sophia. The carriage shook so little I had no issues following the words on the page, and didn’t have to worry about motion sickness. Plus, thanks to Sophia’s help, I had learned how to make a soundproof barrier.

“Now you can work in secret and indulge in all sorts of indecencies to your heart’s content,” Ante commented.

Don’t put it like that. But it would without a doubt be an invaluable tool going forward.

While camping, in order to avoid getting rusty, I had continued practicing combat with Garunya and was able to join Virossa in his training. During a particularly hot day, we had the opportunity to go swimming. The hunters even taught me a few tricks while navigating through a forest, and I had a chance to practice with a sword for a bit. It was quite a fulfilling time.

“You seem quite talented, Your Highness. It is hard to believe this is your first time wielding a sword.” When I’d picked one up to mess around, Virossa started praising me with an endlessly frustrated look on his face. “Were it not for your standing, I would very much like to have you train in earnest.”

I had tried to put up the charade of being mediocre, but a master like Virossa had been able to see completely through it. Of course, he had no way of coming to the conclusion I had learned swordsmanship on my own without formal training, so he assumed I was naturally gifted.

But given my status within the castle, devoting myself to swordsmanship was out of the question. So instead, while we trained, I used a spear and he used a sword. Our sparring was not far off from practical combat.

His strength was impressive. I needed magic to help close the gap, without it, he would have easily wiped the floor with me. I’d love to be able to match him with spearmanship alone, but who knew how many years of practice that would take.

“My sincere thanks for coming here in person, my prince.”

As our group approached the village an old beastfolk, who seemed to be the village chief, came out to greet us. He was a cat beastfolk, with a spotted design to his fur. It really gave me a new appreciation for the proud and proper history of Garunya’s tribe. It’s hard to put into words, but the villagers here seem like...mongrels?

They were all dressed in plain and simple clothes, which made them seem like they were hundreds of years behind the rural villages of the Alliance.
