The journey from Luminor Academy to the Kingdom of Defrin was a long one.


    Even though it was a neighboring country, traveling to Defrin''s royal pce required passing the imperial border, which alone would take at least a week. From there, another three-day journey awaited us to reach the royal estate, meaning we''d spend almost ten days living out of carriages and campsites—a demanding journey already written in stone.


    Considering the return journey, we were looking at nearly three weeks on the road, which meant I couldn''t bring Isabel along. Regretfully, she would have to make her way back with Harold alone.


    We departed in the morning and spent most of the day traveling before choosing a in suitable for camping to set up our tents.


    "Let''s hurry up. First, we should pitch the tents while it''s still light, and then we can start preparing dinner."@@novelbin@@


    "Do we really need four tents? There are only nine of us."


    "Yes, but Princess Rainy and Lydia need their own tent, as do Master Ethan and Lady Rosewood."


    "Ah, right."


    Agnes nced at me and Ethan briefly, seemingly understanding, and nodded. While I wasn''t sure exactly what she inferred, she didn’t seem bothered by the setup, nor was anyone else. After all, everyone except for Agnes and Princess Rainy was capable of pitching a tent independently, so adding one more tent didn''t consume much extra time.


    "I''m aware that the journey to Defrin will be challenging for all of you… I hope you can understand," Lydia said, offering an apology on behalf of the Princess.


    "No need to apologize twice. We understand," replied Agnes.


    "Yes, we were just tagging along to Defrin anyway, so we anticipated as much. And, as adventurers, sleeping outside is not exactly new to us," the Hero added with a nod.
