62 The Journey Back

The journey back to the capital and to the palace will take at least a week at most. The mansion we have stayed for these last two years was found at the edge of the country, by the boundary of Alvannia and Grandcrest.

We are now at day four of our journey. And by the looks of it, we will arrive in the capital by tomorrow night.

Because our party was small, containing only three people, one coachman and my cat, we used a small carriage in our journey.

It was nearing evening when we arrive in a small town. The carriage came into a halt.

"We will spend the night here." Leon said while peeking at the carriage window from the outside. "It is best to stay indoors at night because there are thieves and bandits lurking around in the woods."

"Okay." I nodded.

"I will find a suitable inn for us to stay in." Leon said. "Stay inside the carriage until I get back." Then Leon left.
