After noon, the escort gathered outside the north gate of Drak City, and a simple carriage in disguise was on standby. The four horses in front of the carriage were quietly stepping on the spot and waiting for departure.

"Well... I haven't ridden a horse for so long, so I must have become much unfamiliar."

I held my hand in the saddle, but I didn't dare to get on the horse for a long time. I tried to recall the way I drove the horse, afraid that I would be embarrassed when I fell from the back of the horse halfway.

The first time I rode a horse was three years ago. Zier borrowed a horse from a relative and asked me to learn riding skills. As a result, it took me half a day to learn how to get on the horse.

"I will do the same if I want to say unfamiliar things."

Zier smiled, pulled his hair behind his ear, and jumped onto the horse easily, so skillful that it was unbelievable.

He probably didn't practice normally. Seeing Zi Er so relaxed, I must have no problem, so I followed suit and prepared to get on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I rode on, the horse's chirping almost scared me to fall.

I felt Matadra's sharp eyes behind me, and immediately pretended to be calm, grabbed the reins with one hand, and stretched out my big waist.

"How can this guy ride? Can't you just use it?"

The teeth on the side grabbed the reins, and the other hand patted the horse's back, shouting words like "Go forward" and "Roar" to his mount. The horse just whistled back a few times, but still stood still.

Fortunately, there is no riding technique in the exam, otherwise the teeth will definitely be brushed off.

I really want to know how he passed the written test. Could it be that he won the high score in the final question like I did?

"You are stupid, how could horses understand what you said?"

Tiya, who was riding on the white horse, laughed without any concealment, and the golden ponytail swayed along with her upper body.

"What? Yes......"

Teeth lowered her posture, approached the horse's head and listened to the horse's screams, then turned to Tiya and said:

"He said he didn't look like he was going to set off, so he didn't plan to leave."

"It's better, I'm not so easy to be deceived."

Tiya put her head away and Fushun's mane, and decided not to take care of her teeth.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it took a little more time to dress up."

Natsuki, who tied her hair, paired with a beige silk satin dress, highlighted her graceful figure. She was wearing a red wine shawl outside, exuding a stunning but dignified temperament.

As expected, Natsuki looks good in everything she wears. I have to pinch my cheeks when I wake up these two days to confirm whether I am really serving as the princess’s guard.

No, no, if you continue to watch, you will be scolded. You have to focus on guarding the surrounding area.

"Haha~ I'm dressed so beautifully, who are you going to meet?"

Facing Tia's teasing, Natsuki's expression became even more red with shame, and he quickly shook his hand to deny:

"Where, there is no! The princess represents the country's facade and should have been dressed decently and formally."

"Also this is marten, not fox skin!"

Amy, who was still wearing a bright red maid, held a box of luggage hard and appeared behind Natsuki.

"Why, you want to follow me too?"

Matadra got out of the way, took the heavy suitcase from Amy's hand and put it into the carriage.

"Of course, I am the princess's personal servant, how can I not follow me?"

Amy put her hands on her hips, straightened her waist proudly, and her tail behind her swung back and forth.

Eighty-mostly the big box contains clothes... That's right, how could a princess in a country lack clothes? What's more, Amy is helping her with everything. I don't think it's my turn to worry about it.

As a result, I accidentally bought such expensive clothes.

With a little lonely mood, I put on the plush jacket that was draped across my wrist.

Since I can't give it to you, I'd just wear it myself, but it seems a bit too hot to wear it now.

Forget it, the road will get colder anyway, so let's wear it first.

I noticed Zi Er's gaze beside me, and I turned my head to reveal my puzzled eyes. Zi Er sighed lightly, shook his head and said it was okay, holding the reins and preparing to set off.

"Prepare to set off!"

After Natsuki and Amy sat firmly, Matadra rode back on the horse and instructed the driver to drive the horse and set off at the forefront of the team.

It was the first time I left Didevia and left this familiar land that had lived for more than 20 years. While I was afraid, I had some expectations.

What are the different scenery in the outside world? It’s exciting to think of this. Maybe I am no different from Natsuki.

As the sound of horse hooves gradually drifted away, I grabbed the reins and kicked the horse sideways, catching up with my companions ahead with the loud chirping.

After the team had been traveling for a long time, the leader Matadra suddenly slowed down and retreated between us, deliberately lowering her voice and mentioning:

"Do you know Casalie Limien, who governs the lords of the southwest of the 'Enora' area?"

"I remember it was the guest hosted by the dinner last year."

"Yes, that Duke Casali..."

Matadra was silent for a long time before continuing to speak:

"Last night, he was attacked and killed by unknown people on his way back to the territory. The body was discovered this morning, and the accompanying guards were also terrible."

"The Duke was assassinated!?"

I couldn't help but scream, and the back of my head was immediately hit by a powerful blow.

"It hurts so much! I have nothing to do to hit me!?"

Matadra glared at me and turned her head to Natsuki's carriage, as if she didn't want her to hear it.

"…Don't Natsuki know about this?"

Matadra shook her head when asked about Teeth.

"She doesn't even understand the real purpose of this mission."

"Didn't it be said when gathering, send confidential documents to Kivaland?"

Tiya also lowered her loud voice.

"That's just a superficial disguise. Anyone can give this kind of mission. There is no need to send a princess to perform it. The main purpose of this mission is to let her leave the country for a few days in order to track down the murderer who assassinated the Duke."

"In fact, since two months ago, nobles related to the royal family have been killed by similar means one after another, and most of the incidents have occurred in their respective territories."

"The Duke's visit is a confidential matter. In addition, the pass inspection has reached a certain level of water, but the other party succeeds. It can be seen that the assassination has been lurking in the country for some time."

"At present, the king is mobilizing a large number of manpower to investigate all suspicious elements. Of course, I don't think there will be any progress. After all, the other party has infiltrated the royal and prince bedrooms, and has many guards who have killed them.

strength.”

"Since that's the case, aren't we the best targets for the moment?"

Zier smiled chillingly at me.

Zier, don’t have a crow’s mouth, you fell into the pool after you finished speaking last time.

"This mission was issued by the King himself this morning, and it would not be possible to leak it out."

Tiya lowered her figure and asked in a weird tone:

"Is it possible that I was involved in the escort selection? The murderer was his own person - and it was among us!"

She was obviously pointing her teeth, but if that was the case, we were all suspects.

"I have considered this too."

Matadra raised her rough palm and pressed her to my head who was riding beside me.

"These two kids are locals, and they were vigil last night, so they are temporarily eliminated. As for you two - I have sent someone to monitor them, and there are also some absent certificates."

"What!? It's too rude to actually monitor a lady to sleep!"

Tyana's pair of pointed ears stood up angrily, and glared at each other with gritted teeth.

"Okay, OK, the captain is also considering the princess' safety, and helps you cleanse up the suspicion. Wouldn't it be great to kill two birds with one stone?"

I tried to smooth things over, but in fact I achieved the effect. Tiya sneered and kept her breath away.

After I go back, I also need to pay attention to whether there is anyone outside the window when I go to bed at night.

Ya seemed to think of something, and suddenly beat her palm and said:

"No wonder someone followed me yesterday. I climbed to the roof in the middle of the night to blow the wind and he followed him up, and almost fell down."

That big brother who monitors, it's really hard for you to do this.

The sun gradually sinks westward, the sky is splashed into a fiery red, and the ravens flew across the sky, following the sun's footsteps and disappearing at the other end of the horizon.

After crossing the forest north of Didvia, crossing the "Ollerte" grassland named after the Red Lion King, climbing up a steep slope, we finally arrived at the mountainside wasteland located between the two countries. Looking around, there were only a few weeds and rugged bushes growing on the cliffs.

"Have you arrived yet? How long will it take to go..."
