The very next day, Leonhart departed the capital alongside some of his guards, Elena and Lisa. He did not mention his curse to Elena as it was not something he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible. He still needed to gather more courage before he could tell his problem to Elena.
So, to hide the curse mark, Leonhart was a helmet-like crown that covered his forehead. It was quite a good artifact too even tho it was not a legendary item, so he was able to get some extra protection by wearing this.
The village of Norhada was about 2 days away from the capital. So they decided to go there by using a carriage. Even tho Leonhart was very shy to ask Elena for anything, the other royal guards were not. They had a misconception that Elena probably would become their new empress so they were fine asking her for some little things.
