North of the woods, on an open ground at the border of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom.
Border patrol teams clad in black armor, and Guard Cavalry in silver, stood to the left and right, safeguarding a carriage in the center.
The guarded carriage looked exceedingly luxurious. The coach's exterior was engraved with golden patterns, and silver wind chimes dangled from its four corners, tinkling incessantly in the breeze, producing a delightful sound. Seated within was the so-called Princess of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom.
The members of the Merchant Group were all brought over, and, as instructed, each walked up to the coach, bowing to express their gratitude to the Princess inside.
From time to time, the Princess in the coach would respond with a few words like "You're welcome" or "It's nothing," or simply say, "Go on."
Those who received a response felt as if they had been pardoned, quickly running off, relieved not to lose their lives.
