Neither Lysander nor Josiah were surprised. They were just a bit worried about the situation at the health center, so they planned to sort things out before heading over.

Astrid then said with a cheerful smile, “We are here to watch over things. If there’s a situation we can’t handle, there’s still enough time to call for help. Besides, Mr. Alvarez has said that the food is all set. Everyone is waiting for you guys to arrive before they start the feast.”

Everything was all set. The only thing missing were the two main characters who were invited.

Left with no other choice, Lysander agreed. After shedding her white coat, she led Josiah toward Blaine’s house.

As night fell, the dirt road in the village became particularly difficult to traverse. The two individuals found themselves stepping unevenly, one foot deep and the next shallow.

Suddenly, Lysander missed a step, and her body lurked sharply to the side.

Without thinking, Josiah reached out to steady Lysander, who had already regained her balance. However, in doing so, he unwittingly stepped into a mud pit.

With a splashing sound, a significant amount of mud splashed up.

Prior to that, Josiah’s clothes were already covered in black handprints. At that moment, his pants were completely ruined as well.

What was even more unbearable was the way the mud and water rushed into his shoes. In an instant, he felt as if both his feet were soaking in icy cold water.

There was also a fair amount of sand and small stones in the muddy water, and stepping on them caused him a slight prickle of pain.

Lysander felt a bit guilty. “I’ve grown accustomed to the paths around here. I can find my way even with my eyes closed. That’s not the case for you. Your leather shoes aren’t meant for dirt roads. You should be careful.”

“All right. I’m fine,” Josiah responded.

–“Did you bring a change of shoes and socks?”

“No.”

“Well…” Lysander thought of suggesting perhaps they could ask Blaine for a pair of shoes. They might be a bit rustic, but at least they would be dry, which was certainly better than continuing to wear damp socks and shoes.

However, upon further thought, Lysander feared that Josiah might not agree. This golden–spooned man has never worn the cloth shoes typical of country folks, and even if he agreed, the size might not fit.

“Let’s discuss this later. We shouldn’t keep Mr. Alvarez and the others waiting too long.”
