The train was moving, its carriage rhythmically echoing with the sound of wheels rolling over the gaps in the rails.
Aiden sat on the cushioned seat of the compartment, facing Heinz, the Director of the Royal Secret Police from Gistas.
After parting ways with Qiqimora and Lamia that day, Aiden had once again contacted the Royal Secret Police, asking them to arrange a special carriage to take him back to the autonomous state of Silvertown.
The smuggling freight train was quickly arranged for him, but this time, to his surprise, he saw the chief of the secret police was waiting for him on the train.
"What a surprise, to have Earl Hofman himself come to see me off," Aiden said with a smile.
