His stomach was unwell. The duke was uncomfortable leaving her behind. He wanted to go and get Luana back at any moment. He could only calm down if she were around him. However, the reality that is standing in his way hits him.
After his childhood, he thought nothing would stand in his way anymore, but that's not the case—the duke of the empire's title and the allegiance he swore held him back.
Grit-
Legion gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. He felt terrible, but he couldn't just stay because if he had not to find Ingrid, he couldn't take Luana back. There's no other way but to do what the emperor ordered him. As he rode on his horse, his knights moved in unison.
At the front, a ranger who is good at tracking shouted,
"Depart!"
The knights ran to their horses as soon as the order was given. On a dark night, the sound of the horses galloping echoed over the quiet streets.
The pursuit has begun.

Ingrid climbed a high hill and looked at the capital of the empire she had escaped from. She was lucky. It was an escape that she had no choice but to do. She met a spy of the death squad at the Imperial Palace and came into contact with the people of her former kingdom through him. And she started planning her escape. Fortunately, things went smoothly. There were some concerns in the middle, but everything was successful.
She has been standing here, no longer needing to force her face to smile in front of her parents' disgusting enemies. She did not need to fake her voice or pretend to fall in love.
The bird in the cage finally escaped and found its freedom. She will never go back to that stuffy cage anymore.
Ingrid committed and made a vow. One of the death squads who went with her talked to her. He was the one who kept approaching Luana.
"You must go quickly. They'll catch up with us soon."
"All right."
Ingrid put on her hood and looked in front of her. She gripped the horse's reins tightly. It was time for her to run again, avoiding the teeth of the chasing hounds.

Her body was trembling.
"Ughh."
Luana felt her whole body ached. She lifted her heavy eyelids and looked around her. She was still in the carriage. Luana thought maybe she still had the chance to escape as she jumped to her feet but soon had her hope fall. Opposite her, there was Cain, reading a small book.
"You woke up just in time. We'll be right there."
"Where?"
"Don't you know?"
Then he looked at Luana with a sneering look. She wanted to slap him on the cheek because of how annoying he looked, but that act was close to impossible in reality.
"Based on the situation, it must be where the death squad stays."
"You're right. It's one of my short stays. We will stay here for a while and then start again. You'll be able to see Miss Ingrid at the next stop point. Aren't you happy? Oh, no need to thank me. I just did what I had to do."
"Thank you for saving my sister. But I have to go back."
At those words, the smile disappeared from Cain's face.
"I think you misunderstand something. When you go back, no one will welcome you. I thought you knew your situation."
"I know for sure. But I don't think this is where I want to be."
