The knights from the capital finally arrived at the borders of the Warsaw kingdom and the Principality of Danzig 11 days later after continuing their journey from the city they had settled in.
Thankfully, there were no significant obstacles while they were on the way. At most only low-level monsters were extremely easy to kill. Thanks for that, the wounded knight has fully recovered. They are ready to perform the task they are given.
Szymon has recovered. But he was not in the same wagon as Jeanne, Hanna, and Karina. He used a horse carriage lent by the landlord.
Hanna and Karina still care a little about Szymon, but Jeanne was really a fool. He had no interest in hearing of Szymon's condition. Even if the man died once, he still did not care.
This is a secret mission. Their arrival to the border should not be known by anyone, except the authorities concerned, in other words the landlord. Because of this, they disguised themselves into a trading caravan escorted by a mercenary group.
They also asked the landlords in the city they had visited before to shut up. Merchants and travelers heading to the border were also told to keep quiet about their arrival.
Jeanne, Hanna, Karina, and Szymon look for lodging for them. While the other knights.... That means the other mercenaries are making camp outside the border town.
During the search for a suitable inn for them, Szymon unceasingly gave off an aura of hostility to Jeanne, which was unfortunately ignored by the concerned.
Szymon is obsessed with Jeanne. He'll do anything to get it. Yesterday's events made Szymon even more obsessive. He wanted to get Jeanne and at the same time give the girl an insult!
"Krzys, stop that disgusting act of yours! Be mature like a man and a knight!"
It was precisely Hanna who could not stand Szymon's attitude to the extent that the man wanted to hit the woman he considered a 'prostitute. However, he held himself back. Szymon could at least still maintain his sanity to this extent.
Karina shook her head to see Szymon. The man decided to search for lodging separately. Actually this is bad because they will do a briefing later. But no one prevented it.
"That bastard was always. Just because he's the successor to the Krzys family...."
Hanna muttered while Karina took care of the registration to the receptionist of the inn. Jeanne patted Hanna's head to calm her down.
"Let's go upstairs. Too bad the room here only one left. We had to stay in the same room. Anybody mind?"
"I'm not."
"I don't either."
Jeanne and Hanna didn't mind at all. The three of them are friends. There's nothing to worry about.
"All right, let's get the stuff upstairs. After that, we'll have lunch here."
They're cleaning up for a minute. After everything was done, the three girls went down and ate lunch voraciously at the inn bar. Until a man dressed in clothes approached them.
Initially Karina and Jeanne were on standby. They even leaked his killing aura until Hanna prevented them.
"Calm down, Karina, Jeanne. He was viscount Konarski, the landlord of this place. He'll give you all the information we need."
The man who turned out to be viscount Konarski was bowing his body before them. He wears a hat and hides his whereabouts a little.
"Good day, miss. I'm viscount Konarski. As Miss Otylia said, I'll give you all the information you need."
Viscount Konarski began to reveal things to them. Starting from the activities of the Principality of Danzig spy, their goals, and others. Jeanne requests a meeting with a captured spy. However viscount Konarski shook his head. They've killed themselves.
"All right! You guys are full, right? How about we get around this town first? Sounds fun. Hanna, you're leading the way, okay?"
Be that afternoon they stroll through the city while having fun at the border before going on a mission the next day.
***
In the evening, while everyone was resting, a man in a dull brown robe entered a bar in the border town. Her hair was so disheveled that her face was not easily recognizable.
He walked towards a table occupied by only one young man. Seeing the dull man's presence, the young man frowned in annoyance.
"Who are you, asshole!? What's your business coming here?"
Even when scolded like that, the man remained relaxed. He boldly sat before the young man.
"Calm down young master. This is me."
The young man again scrunched his forehead. But a moment later, he remembered something.
"Ah, you are...."
"Krnst..... Please keep your voice down, young master."
The young man nodded. The dull man said something, which made the boy grin widely. His body trembled with excitement and enthusiasm, as if ready to welcome a very pleasant tomorrow.
"So everything is ready? Alright. You can go."
The man nodded. Before leaving, he gave something to the boy. A bottle filled with a deep green liquid. He asked the boy to drink it.
"ultimately.... This is finally all about to begin! Just look at Jeanne! I'll make you fall into my hands!"
Right, that young man is none other than Szymon Krzys. That dull guy? I don't know. All he knows is Szymon and the man himself.
