The pursuit of House Orvain's steam carriage gradually turned into a long and exhausting wait.
Nearly an hour passed as the luxurious carriage stopped several times in different parts of Velcryon.
Each stop was at one of Terenza's fashion boutiques.
Every time the carriage came to a halt, the Baroness calmly stepped inside one of her stores, disappearing for several minutes before returning again as though she were simply checking on her businesses.
Inside House Miles' steam carriage...
Nobody spoke much.
They simply watched and waited.
The quiet atmosphere slowly became heavier as time passed.
The guard driving the carriage finally couldn't hold back his thoughts anymore.
"Young Lady Miles..."
He glanced back through the small opening beside the driver's seat.
His expression carried obvious worry.
"...Is this really alright?"
He hesitated before asking.
