Negotiation for the Trip

Unfortunately, the peaceful time couldn't last long. 

Just one day after their return, Anna had to leave again.

They used the cover of the night so that no one would know she was gone. They would realize it sooner or later, but it didn't mean much. 

Anna was accompanied by Dimitri, who had to finish all the matters before the people reached this city. Of course, Balott tagged along since he had to handle the negotiation.

"I'm leaving them to you, Dimitri." Noel gave a gentle smile. 

"Yes, Master. I will not let any harm befall them." Dimitri nodded with a serious expression. 

Noel then turned to Anna. "Be careful out there, will you?"

"Don't worry. I will return as soon as possible."

"I don't mind if you take longer as long as I can see you safe and sound." Noel shook his head. He could handle all the problems as long as he worked hard enough, but he would have a headache when he saw her injured.
