Chapter 154: The Duke of Embergreen (2)
“The Duke of Embergreen is currently located on a hill at the entrance of the ducal territory.”
“...Why there?”
“We don’t know for sure... but he headed that way after the road was blocked.”
According to the knights walking ahead of us with the Lady, the Duke of Embergreen was situated on a nearby hill.
“What will you do? Are we heading there? Or shall we enter the duchy and enforce the lockdown...?”
“...No point in being afraid now.”
And with the Lady’s decision—clear and unwavering—our destination was set: the hill where the Duke awaited.
“...Excuse me, you’re not telling me you haven’t even held hands yet, right?”
“......”
“Oh dear, poor Lady. What kind of hopeless man did she end up with...”
Trailing behind the Lady, I sighed and turned slightly as Clara, her personal maid, kept trying to chat with me.
“And why are your eyes always so narrow? Can’t you open them like a proper man?”
