4.5 The undead Manor - Part 3

The next day we decided to head out early. We were already running behind schedule, and the visit to the village a little eastward from here would delay our journey even more. And on top of that, we were uncertain how long it would take to deal with the undead.

"Wait, aren't we supposed to be going straight?" Princess Eliane asked when she noticed that we made a turn.

Even though Markus told Garo about the plan, the princesses still had no idea what happened. I didn't want to tell them during dinner yesterday, and after that, we directly went inside our tents while leaving the clean up to the knights.

"Yes, princesses, but we stumbled upon something important yesterday night. So, we decided to pay a visit to the nearby village first," Makus replied.

The seriousness in Markus's face was making it evident that the matter was of the essence here. That made princess Eliane even more curious.

"Can you tell us more about this important matter?"
