The next day, early morning.
The sun shone brightly, and the birds chirped in the woods.
Charles rubbed his eyes, got up, stepped out of the carriage, relieved himself in a nearby grove, and wiped his face with the dew on the leaves.
When he returned, Silvie had opened the coach door and said, "You can come up now."
Charles got on the carriage and saw that both ladies had already tidied up the carriage and dressed neatly. Only then did he allow Madam Nancy to continue driving the carriage directly to the Machu Picchu fortress.
When they arrived at Machu Picchu, another carriage was already parked in front of the fortress. Aubrey Barrington Atwood, the president of the Liemar Detective Agency, and another young soldier in his thirties stood together.
Aubrey Barrington Atwood, upon seeing Vini Yarsaenu, greeted her with a smile. Vini returned the greeting with a standard Empire salute.
