Extra's Perfect Ending-Chapter 221: Set out

Prince, I have a way out of your predicament, but you’ll owe us a favor.

Deal?

Haris Antores

Brent questioned the letter’s validity because it was so short. But if he thinks about it, he will realize that the court will be held in two days, leaving no time to articulate your words.

Now the question is, is this letter even reliable? What he means is that this could be bait by Harks to lower the prince’s guard. Making him believe that he’s safe, then stabbing him in the back on court day.

That, however, might not be possible for the Angoras family. They hold honor over their heads, which tends to make them reliable.

"Maid, could you call in Haris? I need him here now."

"I’m already here, prince."

Brent’s eyes widen. Looking at the door where Haris enters.

"Why the hell did you send a letter then?

"That doesn’t matter right now, does it? What is your answer, your majesty?"

"Details"

"I have a connection with a person high enough in the church that could pardon your sin."

Brent squeezed his eyes. Even the high priest being found colluding with a heretic is not safe from punishment. He doesn’t see why a high-ranking priest would vouch for him.

"That doesn’t explain anything."

"You’d have to trust my name on this."

Brent glances at the contest behind him and glances at Haris again.

"Fine"

"Excellent, glad to be cooperating with you. See you on the day."

Haris, take a bow and leave the room. Leaving only Brent sitting in his chair, contemplating his next move

2 Day later

Reeva has been organizing his trip to Duranberg. When one of the things packed was finally ready to depart. The only important thing Reeva has is the gun, and Reeva just has some clothing.

However, it’s not like he’s gonna need it either because the priest has given him a robe to wear. On top of that, there’s also something that his brother gave him. Opening into the chest that is attached to a carriage Reeva could find a set of armor, ready to be worn.

This gift from his brother will surely come in handy when he needs it the most. Also, the pope has given him a mask. As per his request, the mask covers most of his face, only his forehead is slightly visible under his hair.

Reeva guessed that it was for his convenience to show that he was the apostle.

"Are you ready, sir apostle?"

By his side, it was Quin and Max who approached him. Naturally, the pope has personally assigned these guys to help him in this journey. Reeva quite enjoyed the company since in the past he was always surrounded by women.

A change of pace is rather nice.

"Yes I’m ready"

He boarded the carriage. The horse begins galloping, pulling away from the carriage. Surrounded by numerous knights and priests, Reeva could never be safer than this.

This party consisted of exactly twenty knights and five priests. It’s enough to secure any location. The travel to Duranberg will take approximately two days. with almost the same distance as the village that they visit on the way back to the capital.

But, this party is considerably faster than when they secure him in the mobile prison. taking one less day.

At top speed, they could reach there in one day. Properly less if one is traveling alone without stopping.

Reeva gazed outside, wondering what was going on at the high court right now. Since Haris needs to adjust his strategy, how would he retaliate against the 13th prince who harmed his family?

But that doesn’t matter now, he already removed himself from such a situation.

---------

Two days later he finally arrived at the village that they’re supposed to visit. This one is on the northern side of Duranberg. Along the place where they would reach Guragua. The snow covered most of the path but luckily the treeline parted way to reveal most of the usual travel path.

Their travel was smooth without any bandits along the way. Anyone would have fled at the moment they saw this kind of people traveling together.

When they get in the village, the residents get on their knees and beg that it will not be burned down. According to what Reeva heard, the locals had heard whispers from Guragua, and the knight and priest had arrived to burn their town.

The priest assures them that there will be no such thing as their sett in the town. and Reeva have a meeting with their village chief.

It was an old man who had lived here since he was little. His eyes were worn from seeing all kinds of things around here. And his face got older by 20 years when he saw the group of knights arrive at his village.

"So you aren’t here to purge us?"

"We are here to deal with the animal problem"

"Really! Praise the sun!" The Oldman’s face lit up after hearing Reeva say. "Thank god, we’d have been starve to death otherwise."

"What happened?" Reeva already knows the condition that the animal is in but he still needs confirmation.

"The animals... they’re weird, as you know most animals are in hibernation in winter. Only when their food ran out, they’d come out of their nest. The problem here is that the animal that had enough food still came out catching our hunter off guard."

The old man makes a fearful face, his voice slightly trembling

"We lost one of our best hunters recently, He didn’t expect a pack of wolves roaming around the forest at this time and he was mauled to death. The trap that we’ve been setting up is of no use for these beasts. They simply have more power than before, breaking out of traps that are impossible for them to break otherwise. In our recent hunt, a simple deer takes 10-15 spears to take down.

Imagine my surprise when they came back with a deer that looked like a porcupine."

"Don’t worry, we are here now" Reeva assures the old man. With the knight group here, he didn’t need to worry much. If he was by himself the mutation would have been his biggest problem traveling here.
