The following day, after confirming to Princess Luna that the Emperor of Death had agreed to accompany her, she proposed departing that same afternoon.
Mark accepted without objections. If they were going to do it, the sooner the better, and the faster they could return.
And while his subordinates were a little surprised that their Master had decided to take Yuki instead of Rose at the last moment, none of them said anything about it.
They trusted their Master's judgment enough to assume he had his reasons.
So when afternoon arrived, the princess's carriage was already ready at the palace entrance, with the beastmen who pulled it harnessed and waiting for the order to depart.
"Tell me, are you really going alone?" Princess Luna asked in a curious tone as she finished climbing into the carriage. "Because no offense, Emperor, but for someone so important it surprises me that you're not even bringing a couple of guards."
