"Can a girl like her actually manage to head to Hauntingen? Based on the map, it's about two weeks away and that's on a carriage and not on foot."
Once Sophie left the castle of Lord Ferdinand, the guards couldn't help but discuss the situation of the young woman. Some might have ventured to help her, but they were given strict orders to stay in one place.
Unknown to them, Sophie was a lot more capable of taking care of herself and getting where she wanted now than before.
In the past, after Sophie's parents died, and before her aunt came to get her, the young child was self-reliant. So, she considered this as a chance for her to regain her old self.
Even though it was extremely difficult at first, with determination and grit, Sophie used the map to hike through the roads and head over to Hauntingen. Along the way, she met several people.
The first would be an old man on his wagon. It was late at night when Sophie heard a sound that caused her to look behind her.
