Unexpected response

The weariness that had berated Canillas seemed to intensify after he heard what was conveyed by the only woman in the very room, his wife. He had pushed himself relentlessly to complete his military duty, attempting to finish ahead of schedule despite the complexity, as he had expected to see his wife as soon as he could manage.

During his long journey to see his wife, he had pushed his limit by taking brief naps when drowsiness overtook him, consuming perfunctory meals when the strength of his body was at the edge of the limit, and riding on horseback as straight as possible to Terra.

He was willing to carry it out in order to meet the woman whom he had wanted to see. The excitement had accompanied his whole journey to Terra, recharging his weariness.

Despite knowing that she had left his mansion with all of her belongings, he could not help but imagine how the woman would welcome him at his unannounced arrival. But nothing was close to his imagination.
