@everyone complaining about the writing... Yeah that's just how it is. I did my best to make the sentences make sense, but damn is it hard when the story itself just leaps around at random.
The King: "I have gathered you three here for a reason"
Rein: Cool, btw we're friends with curossi
King: I was right to exile her to Kudan, please keep being her friends
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT ENTIRE EXCHANGE???
I weep
@MRain that at least is partially explained as the Royal Knights not knowing the countryside. Which still comes across as the author just grabbing some "reason" at random.
