Chapter 124: Misunderstanding

Kalvin managed to somewhat persuade Mrs Wulfstein to head back home while he followed behind me to check up on Aries. Since it wasn't a lie, she conceded and agreed to head back to her mansion first.

She was disheartened by the fact that even Kalvin was against her meeting with Aries, but I suppose it was for the best. When I thought back to how his hands were shaking even at the mere mention of sending me off to meet her, it was obvious how traumatised he had been even stepping foot back there.

"Are we there yet?" Kalvin interrupted my train of thoughts, his voice startling me as I had been lost in thoughts concerning Aries' wellbeing.

"Ah? Uh..." I quickly glanced at the compass in my hand, staring at the direction shown on its face as I scratched my cheek nervously.

It was pointing to the west. But earlier it had only been pointing to the north... Did I make a mistake earlier? How did this work again... Should I follow it to the south instead?
