The forest we landed in was far from the castle and close to the city. We were out of sight because we were moving in the evening. As the moonlight illuminated our path, we continued walking. Our primary goal was to find food for our hungry stomachs.
Another reason for heading to the city was that I needed a place to stay. There was still a lot of time until the tournament and Rose knew of a motel in the city that the soldiers rarely checked. I needed to stay out of sight until the kings gathered, so we followed Rose's lead and headed back towards the city.
As we walked, I couldn't help but wonder about Rose's catapult system. She had used it so expertly, launching us out of the palace in one go. I had to ask her about it.
"How did you know the soldiers weren't looking at that spot at that time?" I asked.
Rose answered my question after a brief pause. She turned her head to look at me as I followed behind her.
