The night slowly went by as snow continued to pour down in the kingdom of Vamlone in large drops, and soon the breaking of dawn was announced by the loud ring of the tower bell built in every town and village, serving the purpose of waking the people up.
As the new day began with no sign or news of Sthena or Daemon since the previous night, Perdita and Marco's hearts continued to grow in fear and anxiety.
The more hours and days passed, the more the chances of being discovered by the villagers increased. Today, Perdita and Marco agreed that she will return to the market after the inquisitive villagers visited her doorstep the day before.
If she didn't go to market and continued to stay indoors and babysit Mrs. Perkin, this time she knew, they would surely raise a thick cloud of suspicion in the hearts of the villagers.
