‘She told me not to get hurt.’
However, he was wounded.
In terms of risk, this dispatch was less dangerous than the last one.
Caleb swallowed the groan, yanked his horse’s reins, and turned around.
The lord of the province made a fuss about his wound and brought a therapist.
When the therapist saw Caleb’s wound, he made a fuss like the Lord, then started treating him, thinking his arm, which was already a mess, must hurt.
Caleb didn’t even mutter a slight groan when the therapist delved into his wounds and retrieved the gauntlet pieces.
When the therapist noticed this, he clicked his tongue inwards.
The normal person would have screamed in pain and made a big deal about it.
Caleb, on the other hand, only frowns on occasion, and his countenance hasn’t changed significantly.
He’s been a therapist for more than 50 years, but he’s never met anyone quite like Caleb.
‘I heard that the blood of a high-ranking aristocrat is blue…… But he’s not just cold-blooded; he’s also dangerous.’
While the therapist thought Caleb was extraordinary, Caleb was still thinking about Elena.
For instance, how Elena will respond to his injuries and how he should cover them.
He also recalls telling Elena one after the other that he would return before the birthday banquet.
Caleb would have been able to keep his promise if Gerlin had successfully handled Rykel’s cub.
‘I can go back……’
So he can get a better look at Elena.
Caleb was happy with the fact.
His face lit up with a grin.
It was a subtle smile that only those who had seen him up close could notice.
The therapist’s expression changed at the same time.
‘He even laughs while I remove the pieces.’
The therapist could only think that Caleb was a masochist who enjoyed pain or that Caleb had a problem with his head due to a nerve cut.
The therapist thought about his eldest son and grandson, who was envious of him when he said he was going to treat Caleb. He was contemplating whether or not to share this information.
As he pondered this, he poured all of the holy water Caleb had given him into the wound.
Because he was thinking about something else, the therapist inadvertently poured it out, and he had no idea that the holy water Caleb handed him would be of high quality.
The wounds that had been dug were neatly filled in an instant.
Even after observing this, the therapist assumed it was because he had poured all of the holy water.
He reasoned that, regardless of the purity of holy water, it was simple to treat any wound by using up a bottle.
“It’s all over.”
“I appreciate it.”
“No, the wound was much deeper. Some of the fragments even made contact with your nerves. Although it appears to be alright after pouring holy water, you will experience temporary pain or paralysis.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Then I’ll get going now.”
Caleb examined his arm once the therapist had returned, which had been healed by pouring holy water.
He felt a numb pain every time he moved his arm, as he had just heard from the therapist.
However, he thought Elena wouldn’t have anything to worry about because at an appearance he looks intact.
Caleb didn’t know why he was thinking that way, but he felt relieved and pity at the same moment.
Feeling unknown to himself, Caleb, who was confused for a while, put on the shirt he had taken off during treatment and packed his uniform.
Caleb waited for Gerlin while repairing her gauntlet and rearranging her gear. If he’s subdued the beast, he’ll be able to travel to the capital the next day.
However, the tracking failed.
“Please accept my apologies, Commander. I’m very embarrassed by myself.”
Caleb encouraged Gerlin, the returned subordinate.
He couldn’t blame Gerlin for everything.
Thankfully, the beast that escaped was still a baby.
It will cause less damage than the adult one.
Of fact, the beast cub appeared to be on its way to becoming an adult, so he should have captured it sooner rather than later.
Caleb should have been relieved and grateful, yet he felt depressed.
Caleb shook his head in disbelief at the simmering unspoken feelings.

The carriage was moving at a breakneck speed.
And in it, I was suffering from motion sickness.
‘I must be really insane. I can’t believe I’m considering going through the paperwork in the carriage.’
I was covered in a cold sweat as I wiped my forehead with my palms.
In addition, I was queasy and had a headache.
It was a common sign of motion sickness.
I had to work the required paperwork in the carriage because the Imperial administration had lost the paperwork that was required to be submitted on the basis.
As a result, I am currently in this scenario.
I took a break for a while and cleaned up the paperwork, but the motion sickness I had already had didn’t go away.
However, I feel bad urging people in good shape to rest because I suffer motion sickness……
Finally, I had to deal with motion sickness.
The carriage then came to a halt when the limit was reached.
Before anyone could open the carriage door, I opened it myself and dashed out.
I finally felt better after vomiting a few times to empty my stomach.
A few people sat down and placed blankets on the floor for me to rest after seeing my reaction, and I sat down in thanks for their thoughtfulness.
“Would you like some water?”
“I appreciate it, Dame Seria.”
Natalie brought me a water bag while I was resting.
The cool water splashed against my neck.
I’m feeling a lot more alive now.
Natalie informed me as she closed the water bag.
“We’ll find an inn to stay in today if we go a little further, so brighten up.”
“An inn?”
“I checked the map and saw that there was a village on the route. As a result, I’ve suggested that we stay there tonight.”
“Wow, really?”
The news came as a shock.
Indeed, when we spoke yesterday, we decided to camp from the start because they did it frequently.
“Perhaps we can stay at the inn again tomorrow. So why don’t you work on the paperwork at the inn without overdoing it in the carriage?”
“How did you know I was looking at the paperwork in the carriage?”
“I saw it through the carriage window. ”
No wonder she gave me water right away, so she was watching me.
“We’ll leave after the horses have had a chance to rest, so please take a break till then.”
I nodded my head.
I took a casual peek around after Natalie had left and made eye contact with Herschel.
First and foremost, I remembered his confessions to me.
‘What should I do? Should I turn my head?’
It happened while I was on the verge of making a decision.
Herschel was the one who initially averted his gaze from mine.
‘Huh?’
I was perplexed because this had never happened before.
However, it was understandable that he was acting in this way.
If it was me, I wouldn’t be able to pretend to know each other when he rejected me.
After sitting for a while, it was said that we should just leave, and I got into the carriage.
As Natalie suggested, I slept in the carriage and worked on paperwork at the inn for a few days.
As a result, I was able to accomplish the work without difficulty.
‘From today, I can only sleep comfortably at the inn, right?’
I was overjoyed as I remembered the script I had brought just in case.
It won’t be a problem if I play around while reading the script because I’ve done my job.
My euphoria, however, did not last long.
Because of the information, Natalie has provided.
“I’m sorry, but Lady. I believe we should set up camp today.”
“Camping?”
“Yes, it’s a pretty mountain path from here, so there’s no village around it. However, you will be able to reach the Commander in the morning.”
I wasn’t startled because I had anticipated camping from the beginning.
I couldn’t help but be disappointed, though.
Starting today, I expected to be able to spend it comfortably…
“Did you finish the paperwork, lady?”
“Oh, absolutely, I’m done with them.”
“Then I’ll take the paperwork, so why don’t you go back with the other knights?”
“However, I need approval from the paperwork.”
“Because getting approval for the paperwork is essential, I recommended that if the paperwork were finished first, it would be preferable for me to go alone.”
Natalie calmly described the situation to me.
“I’m sure the Commander had organized the surroundings, but I’m worried that it’s an area where Rykel appears and Lady is not used to camping.”
Should I?
For a brief minute, I was tempted.
I shook my head, though, as I remembered Count Van Der’s request.
I didn’t know what else to do, but I knew I had to meet Caleb.
Even if I hadn’t been able to bring up the subject of being a partner at the birthday banquet, I would have been able to firmly speak up for myself in front of the Count and Crown Prince.
Furthermore, sending Natalie alone? That’s not possible.
“No. I’m not sure I’ll be comfortable sending Dame Seria alone. If something goes wrong, there is no one to warn you.”
“That is correct. But……”
“I won’t be able to face Mila if I send you alone and something goes wrong, Dame Seria.”
Natalie stayed silent for a few moments after hearing what I had to say, but she quickly accepted what I had to say.
“Okay. I’m going to revoke the offer I made you.”

With a small paper bag in one hand, Edmund headed to the Royal Knight’s quarter.
He was holding a fruit treat from the province where he was this time dispatched.
It’s a dried fruit dipped in sugar that’s popular for its long storage period and delicious taste.
Edmund reminisced about his brief stay in the province.
He killed the beast and had time left to wander around the market.
Then, because of his subordinates who purchased the fruit candy with the promise that he would present it to his sister……
‘Sister?’
Edmund, unconsciously thinking of Elena, requested a bag.
“I guess you’re going to give it to Lady Vessel, Vice-Commander.”
“No, I’m going to give it to Lady Oreu.”
“What?”
His subordinate’s expression changed at that point, and he nodded with a pleased expression.
“There’s no way. It appears like the Vice-Commander is deeply concerned about the Lady, hmm.”
“Well… that’s also the case, she’s kind of like family to me, so I felt strangely wanting to take care of her.”
“Well, that’s right, Lady Oreu definitely looks a little like that. And moreover, she’s very pretty.”
Edmund didn’t know why his subordinates said that Elena was pretty here, but he passed it lightly.
That wasn’t what was important.
“Then you’re not going to buy one for Lady Vessel’s, Vice-Commander?”
“What about her?”
“She’s your sister, right?”
Edmund sighed late.
These days, for some reason, he keeps forgetting that Vivian is his younger sister.
In the past, he hated it, but he still was aware that Vivian was his younger sister, but recently, he needed someone to remind him of the fact.
“She may also be disappointed if she discovers later that you just gave it to Lady Oreu, Vice-Commander.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, but shouldn’t we still prioritize our blood over others?”
As he listened to his subordinates, Edmund wondered aloud, ‘Is that so?’
Despite this, he consistently purchased two bags, as his subordinate stated.
And when they got back, one bag was given to Vivian and the other was carried in this manner.
‘It won’t be a problem.’
He walked into the office and opened the door, recalling the crimes he had committed in the past…… No, he tried to open it, but it was locked.
Only clinking and doorknobs are noticeable to him.
‘How come it’s locked?’
Edmund felt embarrassed by the problems that arose unexpectedly.
Once again, he turned the doorknob, but the door did not open.
Clank, clank.
Edmund only had to confront reality a few more times.
‘Is she down to the training field?’ he wondered for a second. When she goes to the training ground, though, she never locks the door.
‘No. Habits can change at any time.’
Relieving himself, he went down to the training field and began searching for a woman with dark purple hair among the members.
Elena, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found.
“……she’s not here?”
No matter how many times he searched, the result was the same.
Edmund eventually grabbed the member in training and inquired about Elena’s whereabouts.
“Oh, you’re referring to Lady Oreu? She’s dispatched.”
And that was the response he received.
“Dispatched?”
“Yes, she went with Dame Seria.”
“Why was she dispatched?”
“The administration said they misplaced the paperwork and had to reapply for approval. Lady Oreu had to fill it out in a hurry because the deadline was approaching…… Anyway, I believe that’s why she went to the Commander’s location.”
“Only the two of them went to the Commander’s place?”
“I’m not sure if they’re just the two of them. Anyway, I’m certain they left.”
Edmund was having trouble thinking clearly.
Without further questioning the other members, he ran to the letter bird aviary.
