Hours later...
As the first rays of daylight slowly appeared on the horizon of the Peters City area, the carriage driven by Lothur passed one of the entrances to this city.
However, unlike most of the way there, Elke was not sitting on his lap. Right now, she was hugging his left arm; her eyes closed while her head was leaning on one of her man's shoulders.
They were already arriving at their destination, so they would not show that much intimacy. For this reason, a few moments ago, she had changed position and sat down next to him.
Anyway, while Elke got some sleep, something she had done most of the way here, Lothur drove that carriage to the Becker estate, seeing on his way the deserted streets at this time of day.
...
"Patriarch, madam, we just spotted the young lady arriving at the beginning of the street!" A servant said this as he entered the patriarch Becker's workroom, where this man and his wife were.
