Holding the front of her dress, Heidi placed her foot down from the carriage. The Duke's man stood holding the door for her, his tall and bulky frame making her feel small as she passed in front of him.
She had reached the eastern empire, Bonelake and the dull weather and grey sky didn't help the anxiousness that built in her chest. The Duke's man dipped his hand in his jacket pocket to pull a piece of paper. Reading what was written in it, he asked her to follow him and they began to walk on the wet moist ground.
Heidi noticed that there was no water patch yet the mud beneath her shoe felt loose and soaked. Perhaps it had rained not too long ago, she thought to herself. She couldn't deny that there was just something melancholic about this place; as if the melancholy had been stubbed behind this beautiful scenery.
