Arlan and his mother, together with his brother and his new wife, went on a leisurely sightseeing tour on their return trip to Griven. The royal entourage of Griven took their time traveling, making stops at the various cities and residences of city lords.
The Queen of Griven, in particular, rarely had a chance to leave the palace due to her high status. She took this opportunity to enjoy the scenery with her sons and daughter-in-law.
"How many days till we reach Karlin?" Arlan asked Imbert.
It was nighttime, and the Crown Prince was currently in a guest room in the estate of the House of Loyset. The royal family had halted in the merchant city at the border of Griven and Abetha which was ruled by the marquis household. Marquis Loyset, the current commander of the royal knights and the King's guardian knight, was Imbert's father.
