I couldn't speed up because I couldn't make the sound of horseshoe loud.

"Whoa."

It was the most nervous and impatient moment.

I glanced around the still-quiet mansion.

It is likely that Viese and Seral, who will notice it right away, will come out with a loud shout.

"It's okay, Tia."

I don't know if he has noticed my anxiety.

Perez soothed me with a low voice.

The distance of whispering in my ears was so close that I could feel uncomfortable.

Thanks to him, I was able to calm myself down.

I shouldn't look nervous in front of Larane.

When I reached the main gate of the mansion.

"Nobody's here."

Grandfather kept his promise.

The main gate, which the Knights of Lombardy and the soldiers were supposed to guard strictly, was empty with no one.

"The gate opened a little, too."

Even the unlocked iron gate was open enough to fit in and out.

"By any chance..."

The only person that can order the Knights of Lombardy and soldiers to vacate the post.

It's just my grandfather.

Larane knew it well, so she looked at me with astonishment.

"I'm not the only one who wants you to be happy."

In fact, that's why I asked the twins too.

I could've moved in advance and prepared a horse by myself.

Even if it was unlucky to have parents like Seral and Viese, I wanted her to know that Lombardy has people who support and love her.

I don't want Larane to reminisce sadly until the day she left Lombardy.

"Everyone..."

Larane didn't say anything after that.

I didn't talk to her on purpose either.

It was because I thought she needed time to organize her thoughts alone.

Fortunately, by the time we get out of the mansion and reach our destination, the plains.

Larane was smiling refreshingly as she drove her horse.

"Larane!"

Avinox, who was hovering nervously near the carriage he had prepared, came running as soon as he saw Larane.

"Sir Avinox!"

Half jumped from the horse, Larane fell into Avinox's arms.

The couple, who had been reunited with difficulty, hugged each other so tightly.

"Take this."

I approached those two people and brought out an envelope.

"This is a boarding pass."

"A boarding pass...?"

"The two of you are going to Cheshire as soon as possible from now on. Go and take the Eastern Cruise ship of Pellet Corporation."

"Eastern... Cruise? Ah!"

Larane opened the envelope, looked at the boarding pass, and opened her eyes wide.
