Only the full moon and the lantern of the carriage illuminated the road ahead of the trio after they left the port.
After about two hours, they arrived at a property next to a wide stone road. On the way, they ignored a noisy tavern, despite Alexa looking at it with a long eye, repressing her desire to demand food.
Klaus seemed to ignore that her body had been without food for many hours.
The maiden studied the stone house facade closely. It was a large, beautiful two-story house with a wide turret and mansard roof. Its walls were half-covered with ivy, and a well-maintained and trimmed front garden welcomed them.
The Captain went ahead to inform them of Prince von Donnersmarck's request for a stay at the house that night, while Alexa and Klaus stayed in the carriage.
