Chapter 622: A Plan For Single-Line Withdrawal
Early in the morning, Shinji had sex with Freri. After getting dressed, he was invited to breakfast.
Pretending not to know Coral and Roz’s plan, he loaded his bag into the carriage heading to the capital.
Of course, there was an escort for Coral, the former princess and current lord of the royal territory. Another carriage was ready for her, and Shinji had to ride in that one.
Even with an escort knight, Shinji couldn’t ride with Coral because the carriage was small and he wasn’t family.
The group heading to the capital had escort knights on horseback, Coral’s carriage, and Shinji’s carriage.
There was an escort knight in Shinji’s carriage too, keeping watch from the back.
If Coral had invited Shinji into her carriage, people would have noticed. But Roz advised her to keep her distance, so she gave up riding with him.
It was bad that their time together was getting shorter, but if it was for getting Shinji’s child, Coral could bear it.
When Coral had a child, she wanted everyone to know it was from Roz, so there can’t be any suspicions of infidelity.
To avoid problems in public, she took Roz’s advice and quietly got into her carriage with the escort knight.
This worked out well for Shinji, who said nothing and climbed into the back carriage.
