Chapter 29

Not long after the carriage started rattling, she carefully chose her words.

“Ah, can I ask you something presumptuous?”

“What is it?”

“Do you feel attached to her?”

Ian raised his eyebrows at her question, but his eyes never left the figure beneath him. His palm, which was gently tucking a silver strand behind Laritte’s ear, paused.

“That’s a strange thing to say.”

“But…..”

“I’m just returning the loyalty. Do you think I’ve fallen in love?”

Redra restrained herself from uttering, “I asked because it seemed like that is the case”, while he continued.

“She saved me, helped me heal, and even accompanied me on my operation. Haven’t you taken a note of those things?”

He asked, delivering a sudden glance to Redra.

Ahem! She coughed out of embarrassment, a slight blush finding its way onto her cheeks.

“……That’s what it’s all about.”

“I see…..”

As a token of allegiance to her captain, Redra decided to assume that for now.

Even in the vast Iassa Empire, which occupied an entire continent, the duchy was particularly a fertile land for harvesting crops. Rich sources of iron constantly emerged out of the depths of the mines. The duchy was large enough to hold thriving towns and villages.

The word began to spread through the region that Ian, who was known to have died, was returning.

The carriage arrived in front of the Duke’s mansion in the afternoon.

“You may step down, Captain.”

After stepping down from the carriage, Ian walked to the gate holding the weak figure in his arms.
