"I will have several companions follow you and monitor you, to make sure you don't cheat the owner of this land."
These words put the witch in a difficult position again. If she allowed these people to go with her, it would be like exposing their location to the eyes of the Eastern Territory nobles. And now the attitude of the Eastern Territory nobles was unclear. What if they had other intentions? For His Majesty...
"Okay." Inside the carriage, Lily seemed to see the witch's hesitation. She answered softly, her voice coming out of the screen window.
"I have no intention of offending you, and I believe that you are all trustworthy people." Lily's voice was straight and clear, with a unique court tone.
Hearing such an answer, many patrol cavalry were confused, but the captain seemed to understand something. He bent down and dismounted, saluted respectfully to the carriage, then asked some of his men to follow and escort, while he and his men quickly left the place.

Thus, this group of about a hundred northern knights rode their war horses and escorted the only carriage as they galloped under the azure sky until dusk approached. The afterglow shone on them from behind, and faint stars appeared on the horizon before their eyes.
We are about to enter the heart of the East Territory. At that time, the emperor's pursuers will not dare to be too conspicuous, the witch thought to herself, but when she looked to the end of the field, her face suddenly changed.
A group of knights wearing rose cloaks stood on the dim blue horizon, their faces and armor shrouded in the gradually falling night, dark and full of murderous intent.
