Chapter 237
Varia boarded the carriage with Remus.
She had no other choice. Remus was holding a hostage and gripped his sword tighter as he threatened to kill the child if she didn’t obey him.
She couldn’t possibly allow the younger sibling to die in front of the older one.
“...But I have a condition too.”
As a condition for boarding the carriage, Varia demanded to bring one of the knights with her.
“How am I supposed to trust you and follow you? Who knows what kind of harm you might do?”
“You think too highly of yourself.”
Remus scoffed but granted her condition as though doing her a great favor. He thoroughly enjoyed being in a position where someone had to ask for his permission.
“Then take him.”
The knight Remus chose was Probo.
“I have to be prepared for the worst too.”
By “the worst,” he meant a potential confrontation with the knight—he wanted someone he could handle easily.
