I Shall Survive Using Potions!

(Fernand)Eh? Shes already gone, you say?

Finally arrived in Yuslar Kingdoms royal capital, Lithenia, Brancott Kingdoms Crown Prince Fernand visited Atelier Riette but it was already an empty store.

Astonished, he ordered his companions to ask the neighbors, and they all replied, Angel-sama has departed to fulfill her next mission.

Even though Fernand will most likely search around Atelier Riette first instead of going directly to meet Yuslar Kingdoms King, for the first time, he decided to straightly head to the Royal Palace.

Of course, it was for collecting information about Kaoru.

(Fernand)Eh? Shes not in this kingdom anymore?

Fernand asked about Kaoru as soon as he met the king.

Although hes extremely impolite, the king of this kingdom is a kind person. He earnestly talked to Fernand with a wry smile as he could somehow guessed Fernands circumstances.

Fabio and Alan who were accompanying Fernand, could only lower their heads desperately behind him. They were very desperate due to the fact that it can be a diplomatic problem if they were untactful. It was fortunate enough that the king was a good person.

Fernand was not a fool either. Normally speaking, he absolutely wont behave like this. As he will do everything flawlessly, Fabio wont worry that much while beingwith him. However, this time was a failure. Apparently, all reasoning seems to fly away when it comes to Kaoru.

Alan pinched Fernands butt from behind and returning his senses. Thereafter, Fernand finished his courtesy visit with proper wording but he didnt forget to ask about Kaoru again.

(Fernand)I see.., because she hates to be sought too much, she turned back to the royal capital and went east

(King)Yes. It is very disappointing to think that such a thing happened, she might have been able to stay in our kingdom for a long time, but its arrogant to say that when she was the one who saved our kingdoms crisis.

Angel-sama saved our kingdom and set out for her next mission. We can only give our gratitude for it

(Fernand)

The king deliberately said, Dont stay fixed onto Angel-sama so much. Even if youre from a royal family, there are also times when a problem would occur because of oneselfs intentions to persuade the young, inexperienced crown prince from the neighboring kingdom. However, the king saw that it seems like it did not get transmitted to the prince at all and could only smile wryly again.

Fabio and Alan, who were aware of what the king said, were dumbfounded because of Fernand who suddenly became a fool when talking about Kaoru.

And when Fernand and the others expressed their gratitude and wanted to leave the royal palace, the king stopped him.

(King)Could you help me pass my message to your father when you return to your kingdom?

(Fernand)Yes, certainly. What would you like to pass?

The king passed the contents of the message to Fernand, who took on the request.

(King)Alright. If you want me to forget your sons impoliteness, pass me half of the treasured wine that you boasted last time.

(Fernand)Eh?

That being said, Fernand once again realized his impoliteness in this courtesy visit, and that the courtesy visit itself was, for the purpose of collecting information about Kaoru. He completely understood his previous attitude, and turned red.

(Fernand)I-I apologize for my rude behavior from before..! I sincerely beg for your forgiveness

The king shook his right hand while laughing at Fernand who was desperate and lowered his head.

(King)Its fine, dont worry about it, is what I would like to say.

You see, if this is a foreign kingdom, it may become a problem or worse, they may force you for unreasonable demand. For him, stealing half of his treasured wine is already an unreasonable demand and a big problem.

Therefore, you should be more aware of your own position and think about what you always carry on your back. Otherwise, one day you will lose something much more important than your fathers treasured wine. I dont know if its your honor, the peoples life, or something else.

Heed my words, Crown Prince of Brancott Kingdom!

And dont forget to tell about the wine, okay?

The valuablelesson was ruined by his last word.

Fernand and the others stayed at the number one inn in the royal capital. Certainly, they made a reservation in advance. They did not stay at the royal palace because this time it was only a courtesy visit, hence it wasnt a national attraction.

(Fabio)What will you do now, Fernand?

(Fernand)We cant help it. Even if we go east right now, Kaoru should be out of the kingdom already.

Because we visited this kingdom for a courtesy visit, the setting we happened to meet an old acquaintance by chance here and talk with each other, then return together to the kingdom wasnt strange at all.

However, If an information I was acting strange in a foreign kingdom and going back with a woman happens to spread, it will be a problem if we were found out by this kingdoms people, you know

(Fabio)Oh, a little decent thinking ability still remained. Im relieved.

(Fernand)Why you

Fernand made a frown look because of Fabios words. However, he wasnt able to get angry that much because he had a blunder at the royal palace not too long ago.

(Fabio)Then, should we go back home?

Of course, Fernand and the others didnt come to pay a courtesy visit with only the three of them. Its a large group which also consists of retainers and escorts. If they go back home immediately after finishing their business, they will just cause trouble not only to the retainers, but also a large number of people who are working with them.

It was his own selfishness that caused this. As one would expect, he couldnt do anything more unreasonable than this.

(Fernand)Theres no choice, huh

After Fernand said that, a voice was heard from his side.

(Alan)I will go.

(Fernand and Fabio)Huh?

Fernands and Fabios voice overlapped.

(Fabio)Alan, you, what are you

(Alan)It will be a problem if Fernand roams stupidly like before. In the first place, if we are accompanied by retainers and escorts, it will be too noticeable. It might be interesting if the three of us alone are traveling incognito. However, we wont probably be forgiven because of that.Though, it should be okay if Fernand was the third prince or the likes, but, of all things, hes the crown prince, right

(Fernand)

Fernand was silent with a slightly regrettable face.

(Alan)Thats why. This me, who took first place for the one who doesnt have the looks of a nobles child and gossiped as the man who looks like a hunter or mercenary, will go solo after this.

Fernand will arrange the formal documents, which contains your orders for me to go after Angel-sama, and give it to my father after returning home. Therefore, I will have a formal mission that is ordered directly by the crown prince himself, and I will be able to move with a major support.

Since Im just a nobles son, I could travel to other kingdoms without any interference, thus there will be no problem. Its a good plan, right?

(Fabio)Alan, you

(Fernand and Fabio)You just want to enjoy an interesting journey!

Fernand and Fabio shouted loudly.

In addition, Fabio pursued.

(Fabio)And even if you found Kaoru, I have a feeling that you wont come back! Youll stick with her and think about traveling together with her, forcing Fernands problem to me!!

Alan who sweated because Fabios comment hit the mark, diverted his gaze blatantly.

And a reply whos a problem?! came from Fernand who felt that he was being insulted by them.

On that day, the room of those 3 people was noisy until late at night, but there was neither a person who complained nor a person who stormed in yelling at them.

***************

The next morning, when Fernand and the others woke up, Alans figure was missing and replaced with one postcard letter..

Take care of my official documents and my father. Just leave the rest to me!

(Fernand and Fabio)Weve been had!!!

And Alan, who had sneaked out from the inn late at night, was riding on a horse that was taken out from the inns stable, with great vigor. Of course, it was the main road from the royal capital that goes to the east.

It was only a starry sky that was present when he left but it was still possible to go along the main road even if he travels slowly, hence he was not in a hurry for anything. In any case, even if Fernand and the others try to follow him, its still fine as long as the distance is considered to be Perfect Escape by the morning. Thus, he only needs to walk slowly until dawn.

After this, he will pass through the village that Kaoru had saved, and continues on his way to the neighboring kingdom.

From Kaorus behavior pattern up to now, hes not in a rush to travel ahead. It seems that Kaoru had stayed properly in various places. Hence, he doesnt have to be in a hurry.

It will be a simple job that is checking out the hotel, the drugstore and the diner in a town of a certain size or more, and just ask if there are any suspicious rumors. He could only think that Kaoru had nothing to hide because she always leaves traces.

No, in truth, she might not really want to hide it. She just helped people while traveling and she wasnt running away or hiding from someone else.

Apparently, he had a feeling that he can say goodbye for a while to those boring days. Thinking so, Alan was in a good mood.

And Alan goes on while humming. Pass through the village in the east, go straight east from the north-south main roads intersection and go straight to the inland area then to the east kingdoms border
