In the end, Louis and Timothy decided to go together. After all, their troops were stationed here and hadn't crossed the border nor entered the grassland tribes' territory. Only a hundred soldiers in teams of ten would be going in.As expected, passing the grassland in small groups didn't draw the attention of the grassland sentries. They reached the top of Crow Mountain, and waited there. Although Crow Mountain was vast, they occupied the high ground and could see any movement from afar.They couldn't just rush down blindly, as Crow Mountain was divided between Sandoria and the grasslands, and a misstep could lead to conflict.They knew this, so they left some people behind to keep watch and call for help if needed. Then, Louis and Timothy continued on with a dozen or so people.-Meanwhile, Rafael and his group had already reached the base of Crow Mountain. Once they crossed it, they would be on the grassland. They were only a small group of people entering the grassland, whic

Everyone covered their mouths, watching in terror as the scene unfolded. Oh god, it looked like Rafael and Lawrence would fall any minute!At this critical juncture, Everett and Dylan rushed forward, each grabbing one of Rafael's hands. Their other hands held onto the small trees. However, the distance between them was too great for them to pull Rafael up.Additionally, the two small trees were bearing the weight of four people, which was extremely perilous.At that moment, Thomas quickly lowered a grappling hook and rope, just long enough to reach Rafael's right hand.Dylan exchanged a look with Rafael. As they nodded to each other, Dylan let go. Rafael quickly grasped the rope with his right hand. Then, Everett released his grip, allowing Rafael to grasp the rope with his left hand as well.With both hands holding onto the rope, it meant the people above could only pull up Rafael and Lawrence.The rope wasn't long enough to secure to a tree above. Thomas had lowered it with o

Thomas watched Oliver's retreating figure, unsure if the man genuinely didn't recognize him or hadn't heard the others calling his name. Or perhaps Oliver was deliberately pretending not to know him.Forget it. Jacob was right. It was best to let go of such matters. The most pressing issue now was Lawrence's condition.After the military physician's examination, his expression turned grave. He asked Rafael to show him the medicine pills they had given Lawrence. Then, the military physician said, "Thanks to this medicine pill, he's still alive right now."The military had excellent medicine for wounds. But after the military physician finished his examination, he shook his head and asked Rafael to step outside for a word."Marsh… I mean, Your Highness, I've done everything possible. I can keep stable for a week or more at best, but I can't promise anything. His body is in terrible shape. There isn't a single patch of healthy skin, and the infection is spreading. If you hadn't gi

Once the maid left, Carissa began, "Prince Rafael went to Simonton City to negotiate with Sandoria's representatives over an informant named Septimus. Septimus is an informant who escaped after being captured by our enemy. During the Southern Frontier conflict, he continuously sent us intelligence. However, he was recently caught, and the Sandoria people are trying to exchange him for Simonton City."As Carissa spoke, everyone's breathing grew rapid, waiting for her to continue."So, the king dispatched Prince Rafael to Simonton City. On the surface, it was for negotiations. In actuality, Prince Rafael would secretly attempt a rescue operation. Septimus has been rescued, and he's now in Simonton City. It has been confirmed that Septimus is actually Lawrence Ziegler, the Marquis of Elderglen's second son."However, his injuries are severe. Prince Rafael's message via carrier pigeon requests that Sebastian and Lady Kayla be brought along. We must leave tonight. There is no time to was

The carriage jolted over the uneven road, and the hurried pace only made the ride more grueling for Kayla. After just half an hour, Carissa noticed Kayla's face had gone pale, her hand clutching her chest as if she were about to be sick.Carissa asked, "Are you feeling nauseous from the carriage ride? Should I have the driver slow down?""No, don't slow down," Kayla waved her hand dismissively. "We need to go as fast as possible. I wish this horse had wings to fly us to Westglade. Don't mind how frail I look, Your Grace—I can endure hardship.""Alright, then." Carissa reached into her bag and pulled out the dried fruits Lulu had packed. Finding some ginger candies, she said, "Suck on this candy. It'll help you feel better.""Thank you!" Kayla popped a piece into her mouth. The sweet and spicy taste spread in her mouth, somewhat alleviating her nausea.-Meanwhile, Rafael had arranged for the carriage to be modified in Simonton City. It was now spacious enough for Lawrence to lie
