Seirei gensouki spirit chronicles vol.12 Light Novel

Rio is tasked with escorting Princess Christina and her party to Rodania as they flee from the Beltrum Kingdom’s Royal Guard, led by none other than Charles Arbor. Thanks to Sara and the other spirit folk girls, the group steadily puts distance between their pursuers, giving Christina the time to reflect on her past. She is quietly haunted by her inability to apologize to Rio for what occurred during their tenure at the Royal Academy. In the shadows, Reiss pursues Rio on his own, moving his pawns to slowly but surely ensnare him in his net!
