Bab 258: The Escort(s)

Right now, I'm about to go to the palace. For the first time since the ambush, I'm going out of the mansion again. And in lieu of what I thought before, that it's probably going to take me some time to feel fine again. Because I assumed that I would be traumatized by what happened. Turns out, I'm just fine.

Hey, I always say that, don't I?

My maids followed me outside and as soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a sight I can't imagine would happen again. The smile on my face froze as I took in the view in front of me and doubted myself if I was truly being invited as a guest or a war criminal.

You see, aside from the knights of our family, there were another dozen that came from the palace itself. They were all uniformly scattered, surrounding what seems to be the carriage that is meant for me. And to add more extravagance, I could clearly see a bunch of people in white robes among them too.
