As soon as Mitchell finished speaking, the carriage door opened, and Hazen and Kite climbed in. Through the open carriage window, Ruela could also see Rafael sitting next to Mitchell. As the carriage started moving, Kite took out a box from his cloak pocket.

“I’m not sure if you’ll like it.”

Kite, who hesitated slightly, opened the box and showed the ring. Ruela smiled brightly as she saw the dazzling ring in the small velvet box.

“It’s not just that I like it a little. It’s perfect. It’s so exquisite; my heart is pounding.”

“I asked for the biggest and most expensive one.”

Ruela held up the ring and asked, “Was the invoice issued to the Peros Mansion?”

When Ruela tried to put on the ring, Kite quickly took it away. He personally put the ring on her ring finger and answered, “Is that important?”

“It’s important. From now on, I’ll be flaunting this ring, so it’s crucial to know who bought it when people ask.”

Kite smiled, revealing his teeth, and replied, “I definitely left my signature on the invoice and clearly mentioned sending it to the Peros Mansion.”

“Well done. So, how does it look? Doesn’t my engagement ring look even more beautiful now?”

As Ruela showed off by extending her hands, she turned to Mitchell and Rafael through the carriage window, receiving compliments.

“The ring has met its owner. It’s truly exquisite.”

“Wow, when the owner showed it earlier, I thought it was just a sparkling stone. But now, seeing it on Ruela’s hand, it feels like it’s gained new life.”

Having heard the praises from the two, Hazen and Tien nodded vigorously to spend the remaining time not exhausting.

“If I were good at drawing, I would have painted this scene on a canvas immediately.”

“Then I’ll do it. Unlike Hazen, I’m very good at drawing. I’ll give you a portrait as an engagement gift.”

“Thank you. I’m looking forward to it.”

Satisfied with Ruela’s modest response, Kite suddenly looked out the window and asked, “Mitchell, where are we going? This isn’t the direction of the hunting grounds.”

Mitchell looked back slightly and replied, “We can’t go to the hunting grounds with Gart’s tails following us. So, we decided to lose them a bit and then teleport to a nearby village.”

Agreeing, Kite turned around to check the carriages of Gart’s subordinates gathering.

“They are closely following us. Can we really lose them?”

“Once we turn that corner a bit further, there’s a park. At this time, it will be full of nobles taking a stroll or enjoying horseback riding. If we hide among them, there shouldn’t be any trouble. Ruela, teleport right away when you think the carriages of your subordinates are far enough.”

“Yes.”

Ruela opened the game screen. The brief rest was over, and it was time to rush to kill Duke Kuran.
She opened the map and placed her hand over the village where they would teleport. After finishing their preparations, looking out the window, they saw the carriage entering the park as Mitchell had mentioned. Through the open window, the lively enjoyment of people taking a pleasant afternoon stroll was felt.

The place they had come to was a large park with a big lake in the center and a wide path for carriages next to the walking trail. A noble couple exploring each other while riding horses, families enjoying picnics with large blankets on the lush green lawn, and noblewomen riding in open landau carriages, drawing attention from people outside the window, made the world outside look like a scene from a movie.

Somewhat envious, Ruela thought that someday she would like to enjoy a leisurely walk with Kite. However, while looking at the women in dresses and various types of carriages, she once again realized that she was in a strange world. At that moment, Kite shouted.

“Mitchell, it seems we’ve successfully lost the pursuers. Now, take us to a place where we can avoid people’s eyes.”

“Got it. I’ll go through the path between those trees.”

The park on the outskirts was different in scale from the small park near the former Valder Mansion. It was a park made right next to the mountain, and when they deviated slightly from the walking trail, a forest with dense trees appeared.

Mitchell skillfully drove the carriage away from the walking trail. Afterward, as the carriage entered the forest at high speed, Kite checked the rear again.

“Now.”

Following Kite’s signal, Ruela quickly pressed the teleport mark she had set on the village above. Without any discomfort, they could perceive that they had arrived at their destination due to the surrounding noise, different from before.

“It’s quite large compared to what I expected.”

Tien admired as she looked outside. Ruela, who was also looking outside, was surprised with wide-open eyes.

Contrary to her expectations of a small village like Kamun in the outskirts, the place was quite noisy due to the enormous crowd.

The village square they arrived at was in the middle of the market, surrounded by shops and various small and large stalls.
