"I worked in Nevane for a long time. This time, I came up to the emperor at the invitation of Thomas hyung."

"Oh, Thomas. Thomas knows me well."

The vigilant gatekeeper's face quickly loosened.

"I've heard a lot from you, though."

Beryl smiled slyly, glancing at the small pocket.

"Large. What all these things?"

The gatekeeper pretended to be reluctant to take the bag and put it in his arms.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Evain."

"Hey, you're going far."

Evane was the complete opposite of Edwin's destination.

"That's it. The weather has to be nice while we go."

"Well, it's full. I'm not going to be fooled."

The gatekeeper glanced at the inside of the carriage and smiled broadly.

After that, I opened the carriage door and checked my identity card.

Edwin and Angelina presented their identity cards for camouflage used by Shark.

They were a commoner couple of similar age.

The Archduke already had an identity card for camouflage because he had traveled all over the Empire to find Isabelle.

There were a lot of wanderers on the stagecoach, so wearing a hood wasn't much of a problem.

There was no face drawn on the identity card, and he didn't even bother to check his face.

I thought it would pass without any problems.

The gatekeeper, who was checking identification cards one after another, suddenly threw his gaze at Angelina.

In an instant, the surrounding air stiffened.

Both Edwin and the Archduke slipped to the spot where the sword was hidden under the seat.

"Hey, is your wife sick anywhere?"

"Oh, yes. I got sick and took medicine, but I don't think I have any energy."

Edwin replied with an effortless sullen look.

"Then why didn't we leave after a while? You can't make your wife suffer."

"Because my father was in critical condition, I could not delay even for a moment."

"Oh my, that. Are you going to Evain too?"

Evane was asked because it was only the final destination, and people got on and off at the passing station.

"Yes."

"It must be very difficult."

The gatekeeper spoke a few more words about whether he was a wide-eyed person, and then closed the carriage door.

"Annoying."

When Edwin lowered his head, Jenny and the attendants in the carriage were tense.

"It seems to have passed safely."

Fortunately, the air was softened by the Archduke's relief.

Beryl drove the chariot for a long time even after leaving the city gate.

It was only after he completely escaped the gaze of the Imperial Guard guarding the fortress wall that he stopped the carriage inside the forest.

There, the sharks who had been contacted in advance were waiting with their horses ready.
