I nodded to Doctor Kai, signaling that it was fine for him to leave us alone now. The doctor seed a little worried about , but he decided to take his leave anyways.
“Shin...” I called Shin’s na softly as I ca to stand in front of him.
“How was the ride?” Shin asked.
“It was terrible...but I made it...” I replied honestly.
Shin laughed quite loudly at my truthful response. I was sure that he was expecting that. Although I did complain, this much hardship was nothing compared to my old life. He probably didn’t know or had forgotten that I ca from this small town, and I lived pretty much in a hut in the forest. I never rode on or owned a horse, so I travelled by foot. Life wasn’t easy for then...and it definitely wasn’t easy for now either...
“Ready to surprise our prince?” Shin asked after he stopped laughing.
Oh right...I need to et Ren at so point...
“Not really...” I replied honestly while feeling surprised that my voice didn’t shake.
“I’m not looking forward to it either...but you do realize that I can’t let you spend the night here, right?” Shin said as he gestured to the random tents around us.
“Huh?” I reacted in confusion.
“My Lady...in case you haven’t realized, we’re all n here. You’re the only woman on this war march. The entire dical team are n as well. You honestly did not think that you would be spending the night in the sa tent as them now, did you?” Shin said as he narrowed his eyes at .
Oh right...that honestly had slipped my mind. Although I did sleep in the wagon along with the other doctors that was quite different than spending the night in a tent with them. My sleeping arrangent on this trip was clearly not sothing that was top-of-mind for .
“Oh...right. Then where will I be sleeping?” I asked curiously.
“With Ren...obviously...” Shin replied like it was supposed to be obvious.
“Huh?! Wait...a mont...” I gasped in shock.
“Don’t tell that you didn’t figure this out already?” Shin asked sarcastically.
“But...I’m going to be...with Ren...” I muttered.
I would have felt overjoyed if we weren’t in this situation. eting Ren was sothing that I dreaded. Now, not only will I et him but I’m going to have to spend the night with him? I covered my face with both my hands, and I felt like I was about to lose my mind. Is there really no way that I can hide from him?
“No one is going to baby sit you here. Well, the idea is for Ren to take on that job anyways...” Shin said with an evil chuckle.
“I don’t want to be stuck with Ren when he’s mad...you know...” I admitted softly.
“Neither do I. Good luck, My Lady,” Shin said before smiling widely at .
I followed Shin as he led through endless rows of tents of various sizes while he explained the layout and arrangent to . Basically, the dical team and everyone else who couldn’t fight were located almost at the back of the settlent. The furthest back were so soldiers that acted as the rear guard. Their job is to protect us if so enemy soldier decides to attack from behind.
“The mid-section is the largest and that is where the soldier camps are,” Shin explained.
“What about Ren’s tent?” I asked.
“In the most secured place. Right in the middle of the mid-section. Close to his tents are tents for the generals to et and discuss the strategy for the war as well. It’s like the head quarters for this army,” Shin calmly explained.
“I see. That’s good...” I said, feeling better that Ren would be in a safe location.
“With that said, you will be safe if you stay there as well. The dical camp is safe too, to be honest,” Shin said as he tried to comfort .
“Thank you. I’ll still help out at the dical camp. That is why I ca here after all,” I said determinedly.
“Although the location of Ren’s tent is safest...he will only be safe if he stays inside his tent. You do realize that right? That is the hardest part...” Shin said, sounding tired and drained of energy.
“Haha...I see...” I couldn’t help laughing at Shin’s tired face as he said that.
“Honestly, keeping Ren safe is giving a much worst headache than this whole war affair...” Shin admitted with a loud sigh.
After a while of walking, Shin halted before he gestured with his hand to a large tent. This must be Ren’s tent. My whole body froze, and my face felt cold. It had finally arrived...the mont that I dreaded all this ti...
What should I do? My body won’t even move anymore...I’m so scared...
I’m about to et Ren.
I wanted to see him so badly. It’s been a few days since I last saw him and spent ti with him. Honesty, I miss him a lot and couldn’t wait to spend ti with him again. However, I knew that any peaceful ti that we could enjoy together would co only after Ren cald down from the shock of finding here.
Ren...he’s going to be so mad at for this. Should I figure out how to make him feel better before I et him? Would that be better?
What should I say when I finally ca face to face with him?
The more I thought about it, the more difficult it was to move my body. I was standing there glued to the spot as I considered what to do. What was the best option for right now?
“You’re not just going to let waltz in there alone, are you?” I asked as I turned to stare at Shin.
“I guess I shouldn’t do that. More like...I wish I could, but I can’t do that. I have to be there to tell Ren that this was the emperor’s orders after all,” Shin said with a regrettable look on his face.
I can’t believe he was seriously thinking of sending in there alone to greet Ren. Like, what am I supposed to say?
