Chapter 528: I Will Go with You
"A princess? Why would a princess get lost in the human realm? Did no one accompany her? That’s suspicious," Alvis frowned.
"She must be a runaway," Ferdinand already figured. "They have those occasionally. Or those with her died in the human realm so she was left alone."
Alwin had limited the information he reported about Evania since Ferdinand might figure out, he knew too much.
"Who went with Alwin?" Alvis thought someone else was with Alwin.
"He went alone."
"What?!!" Alvis exclaimed in shock and disbelief. He glanced at Arabella for verification. He assumed Ferdinand must have learned to joke as well.
But Arabella’s response was the same.
"Yes, he went alone," she said in a low voice since she knew why Alwin insisted on it.
If Alwin went with Ferdinand’s people, he would not be able to use his bargaining chips nor teleport directly to the Shadow Territory after entering Umbra. They might notice Alwin had prior knowledge and was keeping something a secret from them.
"Why? Why allow him to go to such a dangerous place all alone? He’s an inexperienced child even if he’s so talented and powerful," Alvis was horrified.
That is indeed a concern, especially if this was indeed Alwin’s first time going there. Arabella was rather relieved that someone openly worried for Alwin like this.
