It had been four days since Ethan left Lilian and Cedric behind to act on the nagging feeling he had aligned with the direction his compass was pointing towards.
Along the way, they were stopped several times by the patrols who had been assigned to guard certain areas within Grandshire.
Even after they had shown their identification as students of Brynhildr Academy, those who stopped them couldn’t help but become suspicious of their motive.
Ethan could understand their concern because two students were traveling together far from their academy.
Although they knew that Brynhildr Academy had sent their own people to investigate, there was an agreement that they shouldn’t interfere with each other’s area of responsibility.
Of course, Ethan did his best to cooperate, but their travel time was still delayed by hours due to constant interrogation.
Because of this, he had sent Dantalion to scout ahead because the Ravens were exempted from this inspection.
