"Yes, it would have. But I'm afraid I'm no longer a royal guard and they will probably behead her before setting out for the battle, anyway."
It made sense.
Anyway, this place kept getting denser and denser.
The houses were now much closer to each other and some were larger than others. Some of the houses were even intact- kind of.
