The wheels of the carriage continued to rattle. The night was dark, Alberia lightly shined onto Earth, the stars glittered in the sky.
The three women were all fast asleep, with Ethan and Miyuki the only ones who were awake.
The knight's eyes were barely holding open, his eyelids continued to blink rapidly.
"Again, I am rather sorry for the events that took place the other day. I shouldn't have egged you on like that, Azagawa." Ethan broke the silence.
"Ye-yeah man, really, don't worry about it. I'd like to apologize again for punching you. It was uncalled for." Miyuki jolted awake in response to Ethan.
"Yeah, I understand."
They then sat in silence once again.
"..."
"..."
"So Isaiah was your older brother, or?" Miyuki began.
"Yeah, one of rsix siblings. He was the second oldest, the oldest being one of my sisters, Rya, but now they're all... gone." He sunk his head.
"Yeah... I'm sorry for killing Isaiah, but to be honest, he tried to kill Evelyn and I."
"I understand what you had to do." Ethan began to sniffle quietly.
"I promise, I won't kill or hurt anyone else going forward. Unless I truly and genuinely gave to. I don't wanna see someone go through what you're going through right now, you know?"
"It doesn't matter to me anymore Miyuki. You had to do it." He turned away once again.
The carriage fell back into silence.

Morning came on the sixth day into their journey, with Miyuki and Leonidas steering the vehicle. The trip seemed to go all well, but something was on the horizon.
"It's Bouvala." Miyuki exclaimed.
"Indeed it is." Leonidas replied.
It was true. The two knights could barely see a large skyscraper, beginning to peek over the horizon. It must have been from the Akihabara crash, since there was no possible way a building of that size could be made in Bouvala. There was another thing they all began to notice.
Little drops of white, cold, snow were beginning to collect onto the backs of the horses. Then they began to collect onto the carriage.
"Snow?" Miyuki asked.
"My apologies, as I forgot to mention the most vital fact of this mission. The kingdom of Bouvala has almost-yearly snowfall. So we'll need to be careful of the cold, and somewhat slippery terrain." Leonidas ran his fingers through his hair.
"Hmm, noted."

A large mass of concrete, the city, stuck put from the kingdom's walls, leaving a gaping hole for the camp to venture through.
The vehicle came to a stop.
"We finally made it!" Miyuki hopped from the passenger-side seat and landed on the snowy ground beneath him.
"Seems we have a simple way in, alot simpler than I assumed before." Leonidas remarked as he too got off from the driver's side.
The carriages back doors flew open as the group all poured out.
"Woo-hoo! We're here!" Dusk exclaimed as she followed Lillith.
"Be a little quieter, kitty." Lilltg grabbed the small, floating feline.
"Yeah, this ain't really a good place to be at. Especially with Barton somewhere in this place." Sakuta remarked, as he patted off snow that was collecting on his daughter's head.
"Yeah, we'll have to be careful." Ethan straightened his navy-blue suit jacket as he got off the vehicle.
Miyuki quickly made his way around his friends as he went into the carriage to escort his loves. Avery was still fast asleep, but Evelyn was quite awake, with her "rival" sleeping by her side.
"Oh, good."
"Hey Miyuki."
"Hey. Ready to get going?"
"Oh, yeah of course." She shook Avery, as to wake her, since it was time to leave.
"Huh? Oh yeah, yeah, I'm getting up- Miyuki!" Avery jumped up and embraced her love.
"Hey, hey, easy. It's not like I'm going anywhere, well, I am, we all are."
"I know, I'm just glad to see you. I always am."
"Yeah, yeah." He continued to hug her. She felt so warm.
Her tail lightly wagged.
"Hey! Don't leave me in the dark! You're my knight y'know." Evelyn pouted.
"Yeah yeah of course."

"Fuck its cold!" Miyuki was shivering as they walked down the streets of Bouvala.
"Where's this, Aki-ha-blah blah place at?" Lillith asked.
"Most probably on one of the kingdom's sides." Leonidas replied.
"Fuck. This'll be awhile." Miyuki sniffled.
