A week passed since Ariana began her journey with Louis and the others. Since the treaty matter was urgent, if they didn't need to rest, the group continued to walk through the various terrains of the Sigmund Kingdom. Ariana gauged that if they maintained their current pace, in another two weeks they might arrive in the capital.
Throughout their journey, neither Ariana nor Louis would speak if what they had to talk about wasn't significant. Ariana only spoke whenever she had to arrange accommodation for Louis, while Louis only spoke to Ariana whenever he had to answer the girl's words. The soldiers following the two were no less wary of each other. It's unfortunate to see two kingdoms that used to have good relations have to be enemies because of this war.
