章 1102: To the Frontlines

"And here I thought you'd take a bit longer."

Waiting by one of the defense gates of the kingdom, both Wells and Edward donned their military uniforms as they greeted the young man coming to see them with a smile.

"Sorry, sorry," replied Valyr back at Wells' words, his expression showing genuine remorse for his actions. "Got a bit too immersed while forging at the guild."

"In any case, your extended stay here wouldn't cause too much of a problem, no?" asked the young man soon after, to which Edward shook his head in response.

"It won't, but we'll have to speed up our travel to the frontlines in exchange," said Edward as he gave Valyr a brief explanation of what he meant.

"Though we told you we'll only be staying in the kingdom for a week before leaving, in actuality, we've been given two weeks of rest away from the frontlines. We just factored in the amount of time we'll take to come here and head back."
