**Chapter 208 – Northern Trip (1)**
**5 hours earlier.**
After a long journey by carriage, I stretched my stiff back and gazed up at the Northern sky.
“Ugh… It’s stupidly far.”
It probably took about a week to reach the Northern territories at the edge of the empire. The trip took as long as it did only because the roads were in good condition. If not, it would have easily taken fifteen days or more.
The expensive carriage had lessened the travel fatigue somewhat, but being tired was inevitable. As we’d practically camped out in the carriage for an entire week, it didn’t really matter how luxurious it was.
The most surprising thing was that the lady hadn’t complained. She had spent most of her life in a soft, comfy bed, so she should’ve been more exhausted than me.
-Camping…! It’s so… beggarly!
-My lady, you *are* a beggar. I’m the rich one.
