"We finally caught up with that vacuous little girl."
Standing in the branches of a tall tree several kilometers away from where the young mistress of the Taidale family and her guards were camping for the night, a man wearing black with his face covered looked through a telescope.
The powerful magic device not only allowed him to perfectly see from a long distance away at night, but also allowed him to get a general read on the faint magical energy being emitted by the guards keeping watch outside and those sleeping in their tents.
Thanks to this precious item he was able to ascertain that there were fifteen individuals outside the three carriages. Unfortunately, he could not see within the three vehicles thanks to their cloaking magic, but that was of little consequence. He knew his target was most certainly within one of them.
