Riche blushed at the rising memories of yesterday.
“Meow!”
Then, she lifted her head at the loud crying sound of Kaisley.
It was a scream, startled by the large red wolf, Ziegbert, that appeared from behind.
The python, perched atop Ziegbert’s head, giggled at her as her fur stood on end.
[Such a scaredy-cat.]
“Woof.”
Ziegbert lightly barked.
Kaisley raised his tail high.
Was it just her imagination? It felt as though the large, brute wolf and the squirrel, which didn’t even seem a bite away from her, were looking down on her.
Kaisley hissed, but it had no effect on them.
“Zieg!”
As Riche approached, Ziegbert’s tail wagged wildly.
Riche introduced Ziegbert to Kaisley.
“Sir, this is my friend.”
“Oh? So, this is a friend of Taariche.”
Kaisley narrowed his round hazel eyes into a triangle and spoke to Riche.
“Didn’t you say your friend would take you to the Lordwick domain? Are you going to ride that wolf?”
If she said yes, she’d be sitting on top of the wolf’s head.
She planned to show who would be on top.
However, contrary to Kaisley’s expectations, Riche shook her head.
“No.”
At her words, Ziegbert’s tail drooped. He wanted to take Riche to Lordwick, but it was impossible.
For monitoring the Tita Church near the Lom Desert, there was no better match than Ziegbert’s ability.
“Then, who—”
Before Kaisley could finish his question, the answer came.
“Riche!”
At the joyful voice, Riche turned her head and widened her eyes.
Kaisley noticed her gaze and asked.
“Are you taking that carriage?”
A splendid carriage was coming towards them.
And beside the coachman on the driver’s seat was a handsome man with sky-blue hair.
A handsome man and a splendid carriage. Up to that point, everything seemed fine.
But Kaisley muttered as he looked at the man.
“Such a unique taste.”
He was at a loss for words at the sight of the two beautiful white horses pulling the carriage.

It usually took about a week to reach Lordwick’s domain by carriage.
However, Robenhap’s carriage was rushing toward Lordwick Castle much faster.
“Robenhap, aren’t you overusing your ability?”
The wheels of the carriage, which had frozen the surface, touched the frozen ground.
Following the smooth, icy surface, the carriage sped along without shaking.
Thanks to minimizing friction, the carriage could be pulled at the speed of the running horses. It was due to Robenhap using his ability.
“Not at all.”
Inside the carriage, Robenhap smiled cheerfully at Riche, who seemed worried.
Although he was incredibly anxious inside.
‘I can’t let this opportunity slip away.’
It had been a long time since he had spent time with Riche. Now, with Derkedion and Ziegbert not around, it was a rare chance that was entirely his.
It had already been four days since they had been traveling together in the carriage. Tomorrow, they would reach Lordwick’s domain.
The problem was that there had been no significant events so far.
‘Time is passing too quickly. Maybe I shouldn’t have frozen the wheels.’
But considering Riche’s seemingly urgent schedule, Robenhap was determined to use his skills to help her as much as possible.
Sometimes, he went overboard in trying to help.
Even now, it was the same. While he was buying the best carriage for Riche’s comfortable journey, he had spotted the beautiful white horses that would suit her. Normally, Robenhap would never choose such a combination.
“I’ll buy it.”
“But that’s not for sale, no matter how much you offer…”
“Ten times the price.”
“Take it, then.”
Thus, Robenhap ended up with the splendid carriage drawn by the beautiful white horses, his eyes filled with a kind of infatuation.
It was no wonder that sometimes Lilly would say, “It feels like you’re digging your own grave.”
Anyway…
There was one more obstacle for Robenhap, apart from time.
He looked at the gray cat sitting next to Riche.
“…What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing.”
The next head of the Magic Tower, the wild Kaisley.
Robenhap, who ran a business, was familiar with the name.
So when he heard that Kaisley was accompanying them as the instructor for the trial, he was a little surprised.
But he often ended up seeing him as an unremarkable cat, so he let his guard down.
“Riche! Can you do this—”
“Taariche, your calculation was a bit off.”
“So, what should I do?”
…
“Riche! Let’s look at the night sky together—”
“Stars have a significant connection with magic. Come on, Taariche, I’ll show you magic related to constellations.”
“Ah, yes!”
Riche seemed to always be by his side, so there wasn’t a moment when he could be alone with her.
Moreover, despite his wild reputation, Kaisley seemed to be quite skilled at teaching.
‘Riche is slowly opening her heart to the next Magic Tower head.’
Robenhap, who had spent three years gaining her trust at Lordwick’s estate when he was 9, saw that Kaisley had managed to open Riche’s heart in just four days.
‘This won’t do.’
Today, he had to do something.
Robenhap made a firm resolution.
