Preparation For Departure

"Go to the Northern Regions with Big Sister Brianna?" Prince Ernest frowned after he heard Ian's proposal. "Why?"

At first, the Young Prince thought that Ian was bearing a message from Est. However, the latter came to see him in order to ask him to accompany him to the Northern Regions, along with Brianna. 

"Because, it is what the Knight Commander told me before losing consciousness," Ian lied. He had anticipated that Prince Ernest would ask him this question, so he had prepared this story beforehand. "He said that it was of the utmost importance that will decide the survival of the Kingdom."
