What next?

In accordance with what King Burth had said earlier, Morina's soldiers would only escort Gretta and her bodyguards to the border, after which they would have to go on their own. 

"We have reached the border, Your Majesty. We will escort a little further ahead, and then everything will return to you." 

"I don't think it's necessary to go all the way to the front, just here. This is the border, right?" Shan interrupted the Morina soldier's words. 

The soldier didn't answer at all, but also didn't stop and continued onward. 

"Why are these people so stubborn?" muttered Shan irritably. "Enough of this, Sir. Lody!" snapped Shan later because Lody, the leader of the soldiers ordered by King Burth didn't stop either. 

"His Majesty King Burth ordered us to escort you to the outer border, so we must obey, Lord Shan."
