The next day, early morning.
When Reiger arrived at the entrance of the Franzer home, not only was the carriage ready to depart, but also a group of fully-armed knights were neatly lined up, poised to leave at any moment.
Yuri and Marilyn had even arrived at the doorway before Reiger, accompanied by Ai En and Ian, engaging in conversation.
Seeing this scene, Reiger's steps faltered slightly. After a moment, he sighed and continued walking forward.
"Good morning."
Yuri, having noticed Reiger's arrival, greeted him with a light laugh.
Marilyn, Ai En, Ian, and the knights around them all immediately paid their respects to Reiger in unison.
Reiger responded with a nod of his head before approaching Yuri.
"I was planning to go back alone."
Reiger sighed softly again towards Yuri.
Seeing the entourage, how could he not realize that Yuri intended to accompany him?
"I know," Yuri lifted her gaze, looking at Reiger. "But I'm not at ease."
