[Sword Saint] Kreeher had indeed been waiting at the palace gates for some time.
It wasn't that Kyal wasn't punctual; rather, she always arrived early to ensure she would never break a promise or be late, regardless of the agreement, unless something more important prevented her from doing so.
However, Kreeher believed that nothing was more important today than her promise to the Healer, Kayal.
During the past month that Kyal had spent with Kree, he had also seen how much the girl valued this promise, or rather, how much she valued Kyal's kindness.

Kyal took the backpack from the maid, slung it over his shoulder, and caught up with Kreeher's retreating figure.
"Hero, please come back safely!"
The maid waved goodbye reluctantly from behind.
The two left the royal capital and headed towards the Monster Forest, one of the border areas between the Kingdom of Geolar and the Demon Realm.
