章節 23: Journey Ahead

Late in the evening, along the illuminated streets was a beautiful carriage riding towards the third prince's manor, inside was Crei and Tria. Since they have left the prime minister's estate, neither one of them has uttered a word. Crei, however, could not contain his excitement for long.

"Wifey, are you satisfied with my actions?"

"Hmmm."

"Then why do you not seem happy?", he slightly frowned.

"What is there to be happy about? The way I see it, you just want me all to yourself." Tria said jokingly.

"Cough! Cough!" Crei choked on air, he didn't think he would have gotten caught.

"Haha, I'm only teasing. With that family out of the way, when I leave the city, there shall be no one to come look for me, so I will not need to worry."

She has not prepared anything for her departure yet, but having spent the whole day out, she needed to rest more than anything right now. Bidding farewell to Crei, she took her leave.

After Tria left and sensing she was far enough, Crei called out Mexi.

"My Lord," Mexi's eerie voice sounded out.

"Mexi, when you follow after my wife, you know what to do, correct?" Crei asked with his back facing Mexi, while looking towards the sky, his figure was quite picturesque.

Mexi slightly tilted his head at Crei, because he doesn't remember being given any orders.

"There are three things you need follow," said Crei, looking extremely serious.

Thinking the Lord must be giving him an important mission, Mexi's attention was at its peak, but he was soon demoralized.

"One, if any man looks at my wife, kill. Two, if any man smiles at my wife, kill. If any man thinks about my wife, kill.

'My Lord, then won't I be killing every man she meets? And how am I supposed to know when someone thinks about her?' Mexi was crying in his heart, he could not refute Crei, so he solemnly nodded his head and slowly left.

Crei was very satisfied with his shadow's loyalty, next he had to help his wife to get ready for her trip. Crei did not sleep a wink that night, he spent it packing things Tria might need, and didn't stop until the whole front yard was filled with various things. By that time, it was already dawn, while he made his way back to his room humming happily, the tired servants who helped him had to stagger back to their beds.

When Tria woke up and saw the bundles of things in the front courtyard, her face twitched uncontrollably.

"Princess, Master has been working hard all night to gather everything, and there are more things coming in the afternoon," said Nia, who was following behind Tria. Crei had ordered everyone to address Tria as princess since his return yesterday. She was his wife, she was no longer the young miss of the Ashir family.

Hearing that there was more coming, Tria felt a headache was also imminent so she went to Crei courtyard. When she got there, she found him under an apple tree, looking into the distance, with a stern look on his face.

"Husband?"

"Oh! Wifey! You've come?" he said with a wide grin on his face

"Are you that eager to see me leave, husband? I still have another five days, but I can leave right now since you're pushing me out?" Tria pretended to wipe some tears,

Crei seeing that almost lost his balance, when did he ever push her out?

"Wifey, what are saying ha-ha" he laughed nervously

"With the number of things, you have packed, I should be gone for about five years, "Tria continued, pretending to look pitiful.

As soon as Crei heard that, he understood where he went wrong and flashed out the door.

Mexi who was in the shadow, as well as Nia who was accompanying Tria, applauded her acting skills.

"Nia, let's go back. There is a lot to prepare, have Mia get some servants to meet me in my courtyard."

"Yes, princess."

In Tria's courtyard was a line of servants, going up to her one by one to take orders.

"I need these made as soon as possible, and have the tailor take your measurements."

"I need these herbs and oils, check and make sure the prince haven't already got them before you go buy more."

"I need a map of all the Lands with markings explaining circumstances there."

She continued as such for a long time, the adventure ahead was something she really was looking forward to, since she's always wanted to travel the world, although it's not her original world, it is still traveling.
