Chapter 125: Another Heroine
Screeech...
The carriage carrying Lady Meredia and me slowly came to a halt at our destination.
“Time to get ready to step out.”
“...Ah, yes.”
“You’re not going to forget the escort this time, right?”
Our first destination on this sudden date—initiated by Lady Meredia herself—was none other than the Empire’s most bustling district: Lunastella Road.
For a shopping street, it was almost surreal—ancient magic of stars and moons woven into the landscape, creating such a stunning atmosphere that first-time visitors were often left speechless.
To think I’d be here with Lady Meredia, on a date, no less. I should have been thrilled.
But the moment I held her outstretched hand, my face looked... less than happy.
“W-Wait for me! I’m not ready yet!”
“...Haaah.”
Because, just as we were about to disembark, an uninvited guest had boarded our carriage.
