When the mana energy airship arrived in the town of Siyak, it was already the beginning of the next month. Under the hazy moonlight, Astrid met the supreme commander at the frontlines, Duke Charles.
Compared to other journey modes of transport, the mana energy airship, as an aerial vehicle, could traverse mountains and rivers, cutting the time nearly in half. Additionally, powered by a large quantity of wind-element crystals, its speed far exceeded that of carriages.
Thus, even though Amalia had sent word to Duke Charles three days earlier, informing him that the Regent Princess would be arriving for an inspection, this intelligence had only reached Charles by fast horse that very evening.
With such a narrow time gap, there was no way to prepare any welcoming ceremony.
"Your Highness, the Regent Princess, must be weary after such a long journey."
