Finding Torgeir in the main carriage, Alice could see him surrounded by reports and mails sent from the capital.

Raising her eyebrows, she couldn't help but wonder if he was getting overworked considering his sunken eyes and deep bags.

"You've recovered, congratulations." Torgeir forced a smile as he was still covered with bandages. Unlike Alice, they couldn't abuse the properties of Healing Vials without caring about the side effects. Thus, he drank a vial that sped up his natural healing and let his body do the rest of the work.

"Thank you~ Though it seems like your state is far worse than before. You still want to lead the expedition to the frontlines like this?" Alice asked curiously as she sat down and crossed her legs.

"My brothers and sisters in arms are still stuck on the frontlines. I can't stop now. If I do, who will pave a path back?" Torgeir shook his head with a sigh.
