บท 61: A Strange Group of Five

Kael woke up very early on the morning of the next day.

Having done the same thing every day for two months, he reflexively prepared to go to Hakon without thinking about it. He was just leaving the room when he realized what he was doing.

"Haaah..."

He couldn't help getting angry with himself as he headed towards the palace garden.

'How could I have forgotten?'

There was no training today. On the contrary, there was a mission. A scouting mission with a group that Hakon had probably picked out especially for him.

When he finally stepped out into the garden, Kael breathed in deeply. Hakon had told him what to do beforehand. He was to go to the north gate of the palace and meet a group of four people there.

Yes, there were only five people on the mission including himself. They would travel in a single carriage and the journey would take six days.
