Chapter 87

Unfortunately for Ruth, his plan of not associating with the princess was not to be. The extensive road construction that would connect Anatol to the ports in the South Sea required enormous manpower. The knights left the estate several times a day to hunt the monsters that stalked the construction site, and thus a large number of workers built the road under their protection.

Ruth was required to join the efforts. He was assigned to take part in the monster raids and had to suffer Princess Agnes's constant provocations.

Although he looked thoroughly unhappy whenever Maxi saw him, she felt no pity for the sorcerer. She envied him instead.
