Azarus was the last town of Thandon that they entered as directed by the midwife.
"You had better be telling the truth," Seraphine said as they finally stopped at the entrance of the main market of the town. The queen and her men dismounted along with Martha.
"We will inquire from the people and use the paintings." She pulled five of the sheets from her saddle bag. "After then Martha will lead us to the location in the woods while some of you will go to individual houses to check."
"Yes, your Majesty." They all went to work. The market women were advertising their goods, some children were running about and playing while others hawked for their parents. Men were also cutting up meat for customers while some others sold greens. The market went quiet for a while after seeing the queen. Then the whispers began but she had a goal and was not in the least embarrassed as she went to one person after the other with the paintings and asked questions.
