Chapter 313
There was something strangely familiar about this.
It reminded me of when Alice and I came to Lutetia.
But the situation now was entirely different. This time, instead of Alice, Claire and Leo were with me, and the Sword Saint was also on board.
It wasn’t the luxurious, royal train designed specifically for the Imperial Family. Though it wasn’t exactly outdated, either.
We were gathered at one end of the train car. Several knights and Winterfield soldiers were stationed inside as a precaution, but they maintained a certain distance from us, waiting near the front of the compartment.
I didn’t expect to discuss anything particularly critical on the way back, but that didn’t mean I liked the idea of others eavesdropping on our conversation.
“Is it bothering you a lot?”
Claire, noticing that I had been staring out the window for a while, spoke to me.
“It is.”
I answered honestly.
How could I not be concerned when the Emperor and his children were on this train?
Their compartment had been specially modified. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary freight car, but an additional room had been constructed inside to hold our guests.
