The scene of the accident was terrible.

Horses with broken legs rolled on the ground and the carriage was broken into pieces, making it difficult to recognize its original shape.

‘I should have escaped from the moment I was in a weird condition.’

Eugene thought, looking at the broken carriage a few steps away.

“Oh, my God, Young Master!”

Eugene turned his head to the voice of his servant Rikent.

“Rikent, are you all right?”

At Eugene’s question, Rikent shouted in an excited voice.

“I’m okay, I’m not injured at all thanks to the quick escape from the young master with teleporting magic. Young master hit his shoulder hard so …….”

“I’m fine.”

“Oh, my God, what’s all this about? Hurry up and start with the treatment—”

“Rikent, it’s all right. It’s only a minor bruise.”

“Still.”

Rikent said, making a fuss.

Such a sight came the horseman who was still shaking, unable to shake off the lingering effects of the incident.

And as soon as he was found, Rikent distorted his face and vented his tremendous anger.

“Are you out of your mind? How did you manage to get into this situation?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry……..”

The horseman bowed his head with a blue face.

“When you go back, you’re fired, you think it makes sense that you almost killed our young master, let alone serve Ace’s family? You know what you did right now, don’t you?”

“I have no excuse.”

The horseman said, bowing deeper.

“If it weren’t for our young master, you and I would be dead.”

Rikent said in a voice containing anger.

“I’m so sorry. I’ve sinned to death.”

With his head down, the horseman spouted an apology like a shotgun, but Eugene was actually not listening to him.

‘What do I do?’

Unless there is a carriage, it will likely be difficult to reach the training camp today unless I borrow another’s carriage.

“Hey, now stop and look up.”

At Eugene’s words, the horseman stretched out his upper body with tears in his eyes.

“Thank you very, very much, Master.”

“That’s okay, where are we now?”

At Eugene’s question, the horseman agonized for a moment and opened his parched lips.

“We’re around Dainard right now.”

That’s why he thought there were only forests around.

“Then, do you know how many hours away to the nearest village is?”

“Oh, I mean, Middle Village is the closest. The distance is two hours.”

The word Middle Village caught Eugene’s ear.

‘I can’t believe her estate is the closest.’

Rikent asked, frowning at the horseman’s answer.

“Two hours on foot?”

Then the horseman exclaimed, “Ah!” and hesitated to answer, wondering what to do.

“By, by the carriage… It’s two hours.”

“Crazy, then how many hours is it on foot?”

Rikent screamed.

“Three, maybe three hours.”

Eugene has been slowly suffering from a headache.

Far from supplementary training, he had to be prepared to abandon his day.

‘I have to stay overnight for two days.’

He sighed, thinking so.

“Is that really the only place we can get a carriage, really?”

Eugene desperately wanted to be able to teleport to his home or the training camp at Leyrat.

But to teleport, he had to know exactly how to get from his current location to the target location.

There was no way he could have memorized all the roads he had to run for hours in a carriage.

There’s no way a horseman can use teleportation.

Looking at Eugene’s stiff face, the horseman said in tears, becoming a statue.

“The entire place of Dainard is in a deserted place……..”

In his words, Rikent touched his forehead with his hands as if his blood pressure had risen to the top of his head.

“If we don’t get to Middle Village, there won’t be any place we can find the carriage, what should we do……?”

Eventually, the impatient Rikent’s anger exploded.

“What the hell did you do that made the horses with the accident-free record for years run mad? And then, ‘what should I do’, you say? That’s what I’d like to ask you!’

At the voice of Rikent, who was overflowing with anger, the horseman gave an excuse, shaking his hands like a quiver.

“I’m so sorry! I didn’t listen at all.”

The horseman said with the look of the man who had sinned to death.

“When the horses suddenly saw a black cape and an arm-shaped thing flying in front of them, they started running! Strangely enough, pulling the reins doesn’t work.….”

Eugene hesitated at his words.

‘Black cape with arms?’

At that moment, the monster he saw in the Academy passed through his head.

“Ha, a black cape with arms, don’t be ridiculous.”

“Rikent, stop.”

Eugene raised his hand and hurriedly blocked Rikent, who was trying to pour out criticism.

‘I’m on my way to where the carriage might be, and I’m going to ask him in detail.’

Thinking so, he turned his eyes toward the horseman.

“Let’s get started. The sun is already down, so I think we should move quickly. You can show us the way, right?”

“Well, that’s obvious.”

“We’ll arrive at Middle Village, stay overnight, and leave at dawn.”

Then Rikent stared at Eugene with his eyes wide open as wide as a lamp.

“Young Master, wouldn’t it be better to contact your home and cancel your training schedule? It’s too much to start training right away.”

“I don’t care if I can save time.”

Eugene said in a determined voice.

“We’ve already been here for more than six hours from home. It’s going to take eight hours just waiting for backup, and it’s more of a job to go back even if it’s closer than Leyrat.”

As he said so, he tapped the blue earring.

“I’ll put in a call for now, but I’m not going back.”

Rikent seemed to have something left to say, but he couldn’t open his mouth in front of Eugene, who tried to contact the Duke.

For a while, the earrings blinked brightly, but the Duke’s voice could not be heard.

“He must be busy. He’s not answering. I’ll call him again when we get to the village.”

That’s what Eugene said, then bouncing his fingers to invoke defensive magic.

“Let’s start now.”

At Eugene’s words, the other two also shifted their steps.

It was not long after they began to walk that white snow fell.

‘Damn, it’s snowing.’

He was irritated but couldn’t help it.

Because that was the only option.

“But by now, Master, the inn will be full, and it may be hard to find decent accommodation.”

Rikent’s words had a point.

It was Friday night and it’s been a long time since the sun went down.

“I don’t care. I can even stay in an empty room right now.”

“But what if there’s a rumour that the heirs of seven families are wandering around in low-quality lodgings?”

“As long as we don’t get caught. I’ll take care of it.”

Then Rikent ran out and came close to Eugene and appealed.

“I fully understand why, my lord. But listen to me.”

Eugene paused with a sigh at his words.

“What’s wrong, I told you I’d take care of it.”

The horseman was restless and looked at the tired Eugene, and Rikent said what he had to say, undauntedly.

“I know, I know. But sometimes you can get help from others.”

Rikent said quickly, without breathing.

“If it’s Middle Village then it’s the territory under Duke of Spade. I’m sure they’ll do me a favour if I ask them to put you to bed for one night. Of course, they’ll lend us a carriage too.”

But Eugene shook his head.

“No.”

He heard that she got busy after she became a Housekeeper.

Under such circumstances, if he visits without any notice, Yerine will surely be embarrassed.

He didn’t want to bother her that way.

“Young Master, I know you can’t get along with the Duke of Spade, but you’ve prepared for the school’s opening ceremony together. Can’t you ask for this much? Between classmates?”

“No, I said no.”

“Of course I don’t like the Spades, but wouldn’t they help us out of honour? Besides, it’s an emergency.”

“Rikent, never.”

But Rikent didn’t break his obstinacy.

“You said you were wasting your time, Young Master? There won’t be a faster solution than going to the Duke of Spade right now.”

Upon hearing that, Eugene closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He knows honestly.

There’s nothing wrong with what Rikent said.

‘Certainly, Rikent and the horseman should be resting in a decent place.’

I wasn’t going alone, so I should consider their physical condition.

It was reasonable to be indebted to Yerine in many ways.

‘I really don’t want to……’

He shook his head with his fists in his hands.

“Okay. Let’s go to the Duke of Spade.”

Finally, when his permission fell, Rikent breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good thinking, Master, sometimes you have to be brazen in front of the enemy.”

Eugene did not reply to Rikent’s words.

‘What enemy?’

He knew.

That Yerine, who heard about the situation, would accept him as a guest without hesitation.

There was no reason for her to think of himself as an enemy.

He remembered her last smiling face he saw just before the vacation.

‘I must be crazy.’

When he recalled Yerine’s face, Eugene’s heart, which had been beating regularly, began to beat faster and faster.

Even though he knew that the day had ended without training, his heart was still filled with anticipation.

‘My heart is beating so fast when I go to meet the enemy.’

With pitiful self-help, Eugene moved forward.

“Sorry, Spade.”

“No thanks. You’ve had a hard time getting here.”

I said, raising the fire in the fireplace even more.

“I’m leaving right away tomorrow. When the other two get better, I’ll be beholden to you only then.”

His blue eyes were tired because he had to go through a lot on his way.

Nevertheless, Eugene was showing off his noble figure in an upright position, not at all disorganized.

‘Wow, now I can’t ignore Peletain. I didn’t expect a real guest.’

And it’s my job to make sure that the guests can stay comfortable till they leave my mansion.

“Well, you can stay a little longer, and you don’t have to strain yourself. You said you walked for hours from where the accident happened.”

“No thanks. That’s just our business. Never mind it.”

Stubborn.

Just because it’s a vacation, that personality can’t go anywhere.

Thinking so, I laughed deliberately, covering my mouth with my hands exaggeratedly.

“Oh, are you worried about me? That Eugene? To me?”

The effect was excellent.

As expected, Eugene immediately raised his head and retorted.

“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to think about you.”

“Yes, it’s Eugene who has to rush in like an angry cat like this all the time.”

“Oh, who you call a cat!”

Well, he’s really like a cat, no matter how I look at him.

“There’s the Second Prince here anyway, and Erica Blothea, who’s laughing all over because they like you, and there’s nothing good about meeting them, so I’m just going.”

“Oh, yes, yes.”

“Are you listening?”

It was refreshing to hear Eugene’s nagging after a long time.

“Hey, you didn’t miss me?”

I grinned and said to Eugene.

“How did you survive the vacation because there was no one to nag at–”

At that moment I was speechless. It occurred to me that I said something wrong.

‘Huh?’

Because Eugene’s face was as red as a red beet.

I was just joking.
