Ophelia left the manor as shadows lengthened, leaving it in the capable hands of the head butler. Accompanied by a select group, she embarked on a journey toward the archer's distant territory.
The landscape morphed around them, from the refined surroundings of the manor to the untamed wilderness.
Her knights, silent guardians on horseback, followed the carriage where Ophelia was riding. Ella, the personal maid, moved discreetly at her side, while Zaden, the captain of the knights, kept watch over the ever-changing scenery.
The path unfolded before them, weaving through dense forests and narrow mountain passes. The journey demanded caution, and Ophelia's party navigated through the unknown with a sense of purpose.
Occasional halts marked by unspoken signals hinted at unseen dangers, but the group moved forward with an air of mystery.
After a few days of travel, Ophelia and company finally entered Archer territory.
