Volume 1.22 Shield Activation

In the end, most of the things in the market were too spoiled all ready to eat. So I just picked some apples I restock in my inventory system. Both Nicholas and I ate, as we walk on the darkened road. I relit the lantern once all those knights were nowhere our sight. We have been walking some time now, and I have gathered the coin loots. Only one barrel remained.

"Your highness,"

I continued to walk while Nicholas was on my right side. He was making sure that he was keeping a distance away from me. "Why are you going all alone when everyone's in the inn? It's dangerous to go alone at times like this."

"But I am not alone now, right?" I said without much enthusiasm. I saw that Nicholas stopped walking for some reason.

"That's not what I mean your highness. You left the inn alone..." Nicholas seemed to hesitate, "I'm sorry if I am overstepping my lines. Your royal sisters might be worried for you now."

I know. But it was safe for them in the inn rather than in the streets.
