It Seems Like The Infamous Trash Can is Right Here! - Chapter 194
It’s absolutely not a good idea because I hate physical training and want to leave quickly.
“Oh my, we’ll need to hurry.”
Huh? Why Vivian?
When I looked at her with puzzled eyes, she grinned broadly.
“I need to go along too. How could I stay in the capital without big brother? It’s scary.”
Ah… could it be that without Lionel, Vivian’s probability of death also shoots up?
The men who had been looking at Vivian while blinking also each showed movement.
“Then I should prepare too.”
“I’ll be back within an hour, Vivian.”
“Though it’s sudden, there doesn’t seem to be any other reason to remain in the capital.”
Following Dantère and Ardin, Halid, who stood up last, asked Lionel.
“Then what about our match?”
Lionel’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He must not have thought about Halid. Still, he soon answered calmly with an unbothered expression.
“I think there will be more opportunities. What else is there to do while traveling?”
“That is true, I suppose. Understood.”
When even Halid, whose face had brightened, busily left the dining room, I somehow felt dazed.
Vivian, who had been watching us apologetically, also quietly rose from her seat.
“Big brother, Sasha. See you later. Thanks for taking me along.”
Before I could even respond, Vivian left too, and now only Lionel and I remained.
‘So it ends up like this after all.’
A cozy journey for just the two of us… was out of the question, and somehow things kept tagging along in a chain.
For Dantère, this was like getting a good excuse. He’d been stuck here uncomfortable in the capital where his eldest brother the Emperor resided, yet afraid of being accused of treason if he wandered around aimlessly.
Ardin too must be seizing the opportunity to breathe for a moment, getting away from Felix Silias who held his leash.
Halid… I’m not sure.
He seems to really enjoy sparring with Lionel, probably?
“Though it’ll be uncomfortable having them along, the journey will be safer.”
“Yes….”
If we leave them behind, who knows when, where, or how they might die, so it does seem right to take them with us.
I’m just agitated thinking about the situations to come.
‘Well, it should be fun though.’
Right, it won’t be all bad. I’ll be able to hear more detailed stories about the real Vivian from fake Vivian too.
“Then let’s hurry and prepare as well.”
“Okay.”
The goal is to depart within two hours.
If it gets any later than that, news that the attack failed will reach the Imperial Palace.
Though it feels somewhat like fleeing, let’s consider this sudden escape a move that will spite them.
How infuriating it must be. We bolted right away without giving them a chance to do anything.
At least fortunately, since we’d been planning to depart next week, we’d already prepared to some degree.
We decided to leave the Luanax family head’s carriage at the mansion and chose one that was just as sturdy but looked plain on the outside.
We packed our luggage as simply as possible, loaded it into the carriage, and finished preparing to depart.
To avoid drawing attention, just two carriages would depart first, then the remaining carriages loaded with luggage would follow slowly at intervals.
‘Vivian… will she be okay?’
I was slightly worried about Vivian traveling in the same carriage as three men, but from our earlier conversation, she seemed to be enjoying this life in her own way, so let’s not worry unnecessarily.
If she’s uncomfortable, she’ll handle it herself.
Whether she kicks one of them out to the driver’s seat or makes them ride a horse separately.
Sure enough.
Halid was kicked out.
The reason was that the carriage was cramped because of his large build.
“It can’t be helped.”
With a face showing no regret at all, Halid mounted his horse. That large warhorse that had carried me before.
‘He must have known this would happen.’
That’s why he brought along a horse to ride himself.
The carriage I boarded was spacious, and being alone with just Lionel, it was extremely comfortable.
‘I wonder if he’d do it if I asked to use his thigh as a lap pillow?’
I glanced at Lionel’s thick thighs. Though it seemed like it might be too high and hurt my neck. And too firm to be very comfortable either.
‘Then I can be the one to give him one.’
Just the thought brought a pleased smile to my face.
