Having crossed the Shadow Gorge, the Blood Knight Army continued northward.
After two more days of travel, the scout cavalry once again brought a "roadblock" before Colin.
However, Colin didn't refuse the invitation this time.
Because, the handwriting on the invitation was clearly that of Queen Isa's.
"Knight Logh, quicken your pace. We will rest in Red Maple Manor tonight."
"Yes, my lord!"
With that order, the Blood Knight Army began to speed up, finally reaching the Red Maple Manor situated in the southern outskirts of Silver Moon City before sunset.
The golden afterglow of the setting sun shone on the flaming maple leaves, making the view before them look unrealistically beautiful.
Colin had deep impressions of this manor because just a year ago, he escorted Vera through here.
Moreover, they had left some pleasant memories here.
To his surprise, when Colin passed the Red Maple Manor for the second time, he found that Queen Isa was waiting for him here.
