Waiting their turn for inspection, Jack was not happy. Night had already passed and the morning sun was rising before they had their chance to be inspected.
The inspection was very thorough, two dozen guards inspected each caravan one at a time rather than one guard per inspection like what usually happened. Though it was extremely time consuming, Jack's party passed the inspection without too much trouble.
By the time they had crossed the border, six and a half days had passed since Slivia'a passing. It would normally take a day and a half to go from the Zuran-Reinolt border to Reinolt with on Ayden. Not taking time to sleep would save a few hours, but would that let them reach the capital in time?
After reaching the Reinolt Kingdom, Jack's party said goodbye to the merchant. Well, Rydel and Keela said goodbye as Jack stared into the distance endlessly.
