76. The reality.

Cressida turned Onyx around and rode straight to the castle. Vidarr could wait, there's still one night to meet him. She first decided to free the old man. Lycaon might already know his men are dead and there's no research. He might kill the man now. She hit the reins of Onyx and speeds up the pace. Half of the day was almost finished. Soon the Sun will set down and the sky will turn dark. Whatever she has to do, she has to do now, on this day. Soon she reached the castle from the center of the city. She could see, the torches of the castle were beginning to light up. She pulled the reins and halted Onyx in front of the draw bridge. When the bridge was down and the portcullis was raised, she marched in. She glanced around in the castle. She considered this as a final visit to the castle. She slowed and jumped down from Onyx. The servant came and took her horse to the stable. Slowly, she walked inside the castle and looked carefully.
