Gold Mine [2]

Westernborn was a rather small territory. 

At least, compared to some other Baronies who had territories that were far greater than Westerborn. 

However, if one had to choose which territory they'd want, most people would choose Westernborn. 

While it was a lot smaller than some other territories, unlike most territories, most of its land was habitable and usable for agriculture. Coupled with the Gold Mine that resided within, it was a territory that most noble houses would drool over for. 

"Stop...!" 

The carriages came to a sudden halt as the surroundings turned quiet. 

I glanced at Leon and then Evelyn before getting off the carriage. It was dark outside so I had someone shine a light up front. 

"Oh." 

It was no wonder we stopped. 

....I looked at the broken bridge that stood before me and pressed my lips together. 

"Looks like we'll have to find another way."

Evelyn's voice reached me from behind.
