บท 53: The Scolding

Anna approached the knight slowly, keeping her eyes down for a moment as she gathered the courage to make her request. 

The imposing figure of the knight was busy overseeing the children's return to camp, but when she noticed Anna's approach, she glanced down and offered a smile—formal, rather than warm. 

"So, did you finally decide to go to the bathroom?" the knight asked, tilting her head slightly with a mildly curious expression. 

Anna shook her head quickly. 

'Huh? Why does she keep asking that?' Anna thought, confused. 

"No, actually… I wanted to ask if it would be possible to change the group I'm traveling with in the carriage," Anna said, looking up at the knight. 

The knight raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and fell silent for a moment as she studied Anna. 

"Who would you like to travel with?" she finally asked, crossing her arms as she waited for Anna's answer.
