“If you say so, I won't have another comment, Prince Reinhart.”

Seeing that Reinhart insisted, Helena also did not dare to refute. Although the reason why was not mentioned at all, but he believed that the cold-looking young man definitely did not have any bad intentions to harm them. In fact, he was also convinced that the reason why Reinhart did not speak was because she was worried about them.

If Reinhart found out what Helena was thinking, the young man must have been very surprised. Obviously, the girl was praising her too much, though,

“Thank you for understanding.”

“It's our job to trust the group leader, right?”

“EH??? Am I not the group leader?”

Hearing Helena's statement, Aiden who initially looked serious immediately asked in surprise. Reinhart did not reply, while Helena and Caterina looked at him with strange expressions in response.

“You don't misunderstand me. Although it was like this ..” Aiden smiled as he pointed to himself. “I'm still very reliable.”

“...”

Helena and Caterina looked at each other then let out a long sigh.

‘In addition to handsome, you are really less reliable, Prince.’

Due to being both from the Golden Mentari Kingdom, the two girls felt somewhat regretful of having joined this group. Although Aiden was indeed strong, but in their eyes, the image of the ‘Prince Perfect’ that had been mentioned by the girls in the Golden Mentari Kingdom had vanished in their hearts and heads.

Not just frivolous, when close to Reinhart .. Aiden's vigilance and ethics really go down. It went down too far until the two of them could barely distinguish the Perfect Prince from the careless figure.

While it was …

Helena and Caterina glanced towards Reinhart who was propping up her chin while looking at the view outside the window. It seemed that the young man had actually been immune to Aiden's ravings, even just hearing in silence without protesting in the slightest.

Although the young man was cold as ice, quite closed and even arguably introverted .. but the passive Reinhart really helped them to get things done. He was also the one who made the best decision for the five of them.

A figure that is more suitable to be called the Chairman than Aiden who is still innocent and quite careless.

“We finished.”

After some time, another voice sounded there. The four of them turned their heads, then looked at Sophia and the figure of the little girl standing beside her.

The little girl looks beautiful. She has shoulder-length brown hair with green eyes. Her skin was a little pale and thin, but there was no denying that she was beautiful. But after being noticed, the girl turned out to be slightly taller than Sophia.

The little girl glanced at Sophia, more precisely at Sophia's chest, then at her own chest. Somehow, his mood suddenly dropped a lot. Caterina looked at the little girl with an understanding expression, as if she had met her comrades in arms.

“Hmmm .. as Rein said, you are indeed beautiful, Little Girl.”

Aiden said while stroking his chin. Although he was praising, it did not sound like a compliment at all.

“Name?”

At that moment, Reinhart's indifferent voice sounded.

“Include, my name is Devy, Young Master.”

Reinhart nodded lightly. He got up from his chair and said.

“We eat together, then pack. We'll leave tomorrow.”

Reinhart glanced at Devy, then continued.

“You also eat.”

“No need, Young Master. I'm still-”

“When I say eat, just eat. Your physique is too weak. Even if you are a guide, I will not let you delay our trip.”

Reinhart said in a cold and indisputable tone. However, his four partners and Devy knew that the young man was just trying to be nice. Yes ., at least in his own way.

“Thank you, Young Master.”

Staring into Devy's eyes for a while, Reinhart then walked away without saying a word.

Next day.

“Are you guys ready?”

Listening to Reinhart's question, his comrades coupled with Devy nodded. As before, Sophia and Caterina were wearing witch clothes, Helena was wearing a pretty dress, and Aiden was wearing fullplate armor.

“We're ready!”

Reinhart glanced at Aiden. After a while, he couldn't help but ask.

“Of course! Look at yourself, Rein. Covering almost the entire body with a black robe. Are you a thief?”

“...”

Actually Reinhart wanted to explain a little, but when she saw the triumphant expression on Aiden's face, she felt it was better to be quiet. Now he was still wearing light armor clothes and carrying a sword, but his body was covered by a black robe, leaving others ignorant of what was behind it.

‘Ya ... better silence only.’

Upon seeing the people who had packed up, Reinhart led them towards where they would be carrying a horse carriage. Yes, they did not use the typical noble carriage. Instead, they instead wore horse carriages that were usually used by merchants transporting goods.

For some details of the mission, Reinhart had also talked about it with her teammates.

“If you guys are ready, let's go.”

Along with Reinhart's words, their journey finally began.

In fact, the distance between Wind Prairie City and Roscars City was not that far. Approximately, it takes three days to get there. Of course, that also includes staying on the road at night. After all, continuing the journey at night was too risky. Not to mention, the horse they used would definitely need a break as well.

Without feeling it, time passed and the night finally arrived.

Reinhart, Aiden, and the four girls stopped to rest. They set up tents and lit bonfires. Naturally, they had to cooperate since there were only six of them. Reinhart chose not to take the coachman who accompanied them from the academy. It was actually quite tiring for Reinhart and Aiden, but their team chose to do so out of concern for the coachman's safety.

“Do we have to eat dried meat and bread again?”

Aiden groaning. He really looked depressed. Not just him, the girls except Devy were feeling rather displeased. As nobles, they really had to eat such food.

“I told you, besides saving energy, options like this are safer. After all, cooking meat in the wild, especially at night is very dangerous. You guys should remember-”

“Iya, yes ... This is a mission, not a picnic trip.”

Reinhart glanced at Aiden.

“Good if you understand.”

Aiden chuckles. He also looked at Reinhart before asking.

“So, how is the watch set, Rein?”

“Same as before. Four hours of rest. You, Helena, and Caterina stand guard in the first half of the night, from 8 to 12. Me, Sophia, and Devy will be on guard from 12 to 4 am.”

“Really? Why on this trip should we wake up so early?”

Hearing Aiden's question, Reinhart simply smiled. Due to the training schedule created by the young man and his teacher, Reinhart was actually more awake than asleep. He even felt that his sleep was less long and unsatisfactory. That was also the reason why the young man was sleepy in class.

“Good. We just set it up like that.”

Aiden breathed. Seeing Reinhart being silent, it was clear that there was no way to negotiate here. So the young man chose to retreat and complied.

Without feeling, two days passed without any problems.

On the third day, Reinhart smiled when she saw her friends looking happy. After all, according to the schedule, they would arrive at Roscars City today.

At noon, after lunch.

“Let's go soon, Rein. We should be arriving in town this afternoon, right?”

“It should be so, but ..”

“What's up??”

“Our journey should be slightly delayed.”

“Why?”

“Do you not feel it?” Reinhart glanced around with an indifferent expression. “This forest is too quiet, right? Not even an insect sound.”

“You-”

Before Aiden finished his speech, Reinhart said.

“You guys must have been unconscious, after Devy went to pee, he didn't come back. Yeah ...”

Reinhart's expression gradually cooled. Looking in a certain direction, he then said.

“Because it's been discovered, why don't you guys just come out?”

Hearing Reinhart's words, Aiden and the three other girls looked surprised. Their expressions were serious. Standing near Reinhart, they prepared to fight.

At that moment ... a few figures came out from the forest.
