Chance

A convoy departed from Lander's mansion during the night.

The convoy consisted of five wagons and had more than thirty guards and escorts with it.

After leaving Herl City, the convoy headed north from midnight until sunset. After a full day of traveling, the convoy stopped at a shelter area and the guards built a temporary camp to rest.

Some of the guards and escorts were cooks and they started making dinner while the rest kept a lookout around the perimeter, searching for potential pursuers.

Harold's father and Joanna's parents were sitting together, whispering about something.

They were doubtful about this "trip" as they didn't even know the destination. However, their trust towards their children and the abnormalities that happened in Herl City for the past few days persuaded them to listen to Herbert's advice.

Of course, Herbert's well-known reputation from the old days made him more reliable in convincing them.

"May everyone be safe throughout the journey!"
