Maeve’s eyebrows, which had risen in surprise, lowered again.

“…I see. Understood.”

She turned her gaze away in a disappointed manner.

In the meantime, Ian noticed Miguel’s gaze once again and narrowed his eyes.

“Stop staring and hurry up. Get on the wagon.”

Before he could roll his eyes.

As Ian jumped down from the wagon, Miguel jerked his head up.

“You didn’t want to take turns.”

“It’s not about that?”

“Then what is it?”

Miguel hesitated but spoke while getting on the wagon’s bench.

“Well, if you think about it… it’s about my request being fulfilled, right?”

“Oh.”

A sense of admiration appeared on Ian’s face.

He never thought Miguel would say something like that.

“Guiding us here was your request. So from here on…”

“To be precise, it’s a failure.”

“An additional, huh…? Failure?”

“You’ve passed the promised time, haven’t you?”

Miguel stiffened for a moment before he straightened up.

“That, that’s because we spent a day in that damn forest! You should take that into consideration.”

“Well…”

“Anyway, whatever. It’s not entirely wrong.”

Ian scratched the back of his head.

“Either way, we’re going in. You’ll stay here or go back.”

Miguel turned his head to the back.

The gloomy forest covered in the gray mist.

When all four of them had come here, there had been no trouble. However, now that he would return alone, there was no guarantee of things going smoothly.

Miguel adjusted the reins and turned to face the front again.

“I just wanted to tell you that I fulfilled my request faithfully. From now on, it’s loyalty.”

“That’s how it will be.”

It was an excuse to push the trivial things onto them.

Maeve stood up again.

“You too, Philip. If you’re going to walk, you might as well stretch your legs a bit.”

“Thank you, my lady.”contemporary romance

Philip, who had been mumbling, also got on the bench.

As Maeve and Ian started walking side by side, their gazes were drawn to the mist that brushed against their knees.

The mist that felt dry rather than damp, like the mist of a graveyard.

“Seems to be magical…”

Maeve wasn’t surprised.

Not only did she trust Ian, but she also had some idea from the mage’s warning.

“That’s right. Magical.”

Ian replied nonchalantly.

It was then that Miguel suddenly let out a sigh.

“Anyway, it seemed right to leave the forest alone.”

“Did you change your mind? What great loyalty.”

Ian laughed.

Miguel shook his head.

“It seems like a game too big for a jobber like me to be involved in. In my experience, it means that those who got caught without knowing the fountain, died.”

A deep smile spread across Ian’s face.

His grasp of the subject was impeccable.

It was even a helpful word for him.

“I don’t know, sir, but he will never let you and Philip die.”

It was like there was a reason to leave the cumbersome things behind.

Maeve nodded innocently.

“I will definitely protect you two. I swear by god.”

“Did you say an oath… ?”

Miguel’s face soon spread with emotion as he asked in bewilderment.

“To my god, indeed, he is the most honorable of all the knights I know.”

“No thanks. I do it because I have a reason too.”

“Eh… ? What is the reason?”

Ian stopped abruptly when Maeve was about to say something.

Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt as well.

“Ouch. … Why did you suddenly stop?”

Philip put his head on the backrest, rubbing the back of his head and standing up.

Miguel said bewilderedly.

“I didn’t stop.”

“I beg your pardon… ?”

“Why are they suddenly like this?”

Miguel snapped the reins.

But the horses only snorted and refused to go further.

“It will be useless.”

Ian sighed, staring straight ahead.

Maeve, who was looking in the same direction, narrowed her brows.

“… I can feel the ominous magic power.”

Philip blinked.

“Ominous… Is it magical power?”

“It’s the Demonic land from there.”

It was Ian who answered.

“They said no one who went in and came out. It was impossible to come out in the first place.”

A fallen or cursed land.

The places where even the laws of the world were distorted due to complete darkness were called demonic realms in this world.

“We’ll have to leave the carriage behind.”

Having made up her mind, Maeve turned to Philip and Miguel.

“Get the things you need.”

Miguel raised his eyebrows.

“Before that, can’t you listen to the explanation first, sir? I think he just said that if he goes in, he won’t be able to come out.”

“Nothing to worry about.”

Ian responded.

“Once we kill the dark mage, it should disappear. Probably.”

“No, I mean, that’s so reckless…”

“Should I take responsibility and kill him?”

Miguel turned his body away.

Meanwhile, Philip, who had put his bags on his back, got off the wagon with a stiff face.

“Although I’ve prepared myself, it’s more nerve-wracking than I expected.”

“It’s better than being complacent. You’ll be at the forefront.”

Philip hesitated before turning to Ian.

“Front… What does that mean?”

His voice gradually faded.

It was a memory that passed through his mind, the moment he had first met Ian.

The look in Ian’s eyes that had promised to stand at the front, to lead them in the forest.

“That… Do you still remember that?”

“How could I forget?”

Philip’s eyes filled with gratitude for Maeve.

Maeve said firmly.

“You said it, so there’s no room for me to intervene, Phillip. I hope this experience will teach you a lesson.”

It was then that Miguel jumped off the wagon.

His eyes met the stunned Philip, and he chinned towards the fog.

“Is it time to stop? Hurry up and get off.”

“……”
