"Galina will regret it sooner or later... Look, this tent is really shabby."
Her Highness the Princess, using Dorothy's body, looked around at the furniture being arranged in the tent, glanced at Tifa holding Mia, and then asked Shard:
"Are we staying here tonight, or going to Galina Manor, or heading home?"
Because the competition lasted four days, and getting accustomed to the venue in advance, or becoming close to one's horse, could obviously lead to better performance in the subsequent competitions, in previous years many contestants chose to stay right here.
"Of course, we're going home, it's only an hour's journey."
Lecia chuckled, as this was entirely expected:
"Then I wish you luck, my Knight. Let Dorothy watch your brave performance for me. I'll be here on Thursday for the final day's armored duel."
She gently kissed Shard on the cheek, then closed her eyes.
