Saying Good-bye

Days had passed since Honoria had arrived in Kufstein, and it was now time to say farewell to her friend Agnellus; unlike Honoria, the man could not stay in Kufstein for long. He had a business that he had to conduct, and after settling the deal with Berengar, he had to be on his way.

At the moment, Honoria was at the docks of Kufstein, surrounded by a few of Berengar's guards. She was sending Agnellus off as the man returned to the borders of the Byzantine Empire. In Honoria's hands was the jewelry she had snatched from her room before running away from home; it was the payment she had promised Agnellus for taking her to Kufstein.

She quietly handed the jewelry over to Agnellus with a bitter smile on her face; during their journey together, she had grown quite fond of the older merchant, not to the point of romance but strictly as friends. As such, she was sad to see him go.
