The carriage arrived at a smoother road. I couldn't see what was outside because there were no windows on the carriage. I could only rely on my hearing, and the cheers of many people could be heard from the outside. Men and women, all gathered in one place. I had never heard so much noise before.
After wondering about what was happening outside and whose voices I could hear, the carriage I was on stopped and the doors opened again. I was surprised that it wasn't the Northendell representative who opened the door as usual, but a man in a black mask.
The man held out his hand.
"Princess, welcome to Northendell," he said.
That voice… that voice was almost the same as the male representative of the kingdom yesterday. I accepted the hand, and when the man held my hand, I was immediately convinced that the masked man was the same man as the one who accompanied me on my journey. But, why was he wearing a mask?
