Chapter 91: Journey (2)

The journey proceeds well, all in all. The pace is good, and the knights make frequent stops and always ask me whether I'd take a walk or eat something.

They are way more kind than the first time around. I suspect they were scolded for the way they acted the first time. I can recognise a few faces from the first journey.

They bow, apologetic, every time our eyes meet.

Marius does his best to keep me entertained, but he's not used to travelling and ends up sleeping most of the time. It's also thanks to Aida, sometimes.

He knows how to become annoying, so she just makes him sleepy when he doesn't stop talking. She's not in our carriage all the time, though.

When she's here, Marius is simply annoying. But when we're alone, he tells me his worries.

I've lost count of how many times he told me not to trust Ignis even if he's the King. Not to believe what someone says in the Palace unless I confirm it first.
