In between the panic of flying arrows, I marvel at the calculations Katya had to make to trap me like this. As we were entering the duchy of Avernall without any official paperwork or business, and are all young children, there was a high chance we would've been denied entrance into the thriving region. However, we were able to avoid this potential pitfall by taking scenic backroads near farmland and steering clear of main roads. Thus, Empress Katya was able to not only calculate where I would arrive, but when and clear out the town in advance.
If they taught me how to strategize like that in college classes, I can promise you I would've found a much more prestigious job than assisting the mayor's campaign office.
