“Lord Edward, what happened to your followers? I’m sure you didn’t come here alone, right?”

When I first saw Lord Edward, I always thought it was strange that he was alone, so I had to ask.

We did find one of his followers, but he was gravely injured, there was no way we could have saved him, so we respected his wishes and buried him.

However, there should have been more than just one follower.

He is the empire’s crown prince after all.

For a moment, Lord Edward had a bitter look on his face, but he immediately went back to his regular expression.

“They all died, it’s just me now.”

“I… See…”

The guards that followed him were supposed to be elite guards.

But despite that, to think that they all died is just… 

I wonder how many people came here with him.

Just who did Lord Edward exactly fight with? Was it perhaps an ambush that caught them off guard?

“How many people were there? Exactly what happened?”

“…It doesn’t concern you.”

Lord Edward refused to tell me anything concerning the matter.

Is it possible that he had very few people following here?

“Thank you for the clothes and food. But from here on, I’ll be going on my own, so you can leave now.”

As soon as Lord Edward ate, he immediately changed his clothes.

I don’t know what he did with his previous attire, but they weren’t on his hands.

“No, let me go with you.”

“No. Go back.”

I tried to convince him to go together, but he just quickly told me to go back.

I can’t say I blame him.

Even if I’m Rachel on the inside, on the outside, I’m just someone that Lord Edward has never seen before.

Of course, even I don’t know exactly who does this body belongs to.

I can’t blame him for being cautious, anyone would be.

“No, I will go with you.”

I said while looking at him with determination.

Now that I think about it, have I ever been so pushy with him before?

“There’s no need. I’m in a hurry, and you’re just going to be a bother.”

He said with a piercing look.

“Please let me go with you.”

I said while staring back at him.

“Sigh.” He responded, perhaps he lost his will to fight back.

“Do whatever you want. Just don’t get in my way. Also, I’m going to pretend that you’re not even around.”

He said. He then started to straighten up his appearance a bit and started walking.

“Thank you very much!”

I said as he walked forwards. And so, I started trotting behind him to catch up to him.

Our journey began and I had confidence that we would safely arrive at Hazrat peacefully.
