Chapter 164: Pursuing The Khasif
"Callis, how are you feeling today?" Kiev inquired with concern.
The weather appeared pleasant, though a chilly breeze hinted at the approaching mid-autumn season. Their journey to Gantz was delayed as Kiev noticed his sister’s weakened state. Her condition had resulted from mana depletion, a consequence of her recent use of the earth-bound search magic.
After several days of rest, the princess had shown significant improvement. Her once pallid complexion had regained its rosy hue, enhancing her natural beauty.
"Yes, brother, I am feeling much better. I believe we can resume our journey today," Callis replied, her voice filled with newfound strength. "Have you checked on the princess’s location today? Is she still in the west?"
Kiev nodded in response.
"Yes, she remains there. It appears she has not moved from her previous position," he confirmed.
Kiev took a skillet and skillfully started cooking breakfast. The aroma of sizzling eggs and bacon filled the air. Despite the presence of Jessy and the escorts, he had a habit of preparing meals for himself whenever he found a moment of free time.
The enticing scent reached Callis’s nose, eliciting a delighted response from her.
"It smells amazing, brother! You truly have a talent for cooking!" she praised, her eyes wide in admiration.
Her brother seized the opportunity to encourage her.
"You should consider learning to cook as well, Callis. It’s a valuable skill, especially for Mederian women, who are known for their culinary expertise in providing nourishing meals for their husbands," he suggested, hoping to inspire her.
