Once again, We waited for the Darkness of the night to come. It was amazing how silent and uninhabited the markets were. We slipped through the same path from which the servants entered and exited only this time, I was without my trusted companion Estelle.
She had abandoned me.
I had left for Lethoris and this time my companions were Marilyn and one of my mother's lady-in-waiting, Gemma. She was used to my mother's visits and had decided that she would accompany me in mine.
We had crossed the border successfully and this time, in a better wagon.
"Ah!" Merilyn gasped beside me and moved closer when the cow next to her mooed.
well, perhaps not for her because I had the better seat that was not surrounded or neighboured by any animals.
