After Tilly left, Elias and his companions headed north, soon spotting the town.
This northern town was way livelier than the "simple and honest" town of Herglaze, bustling with merchant caravans.
It served as a crucial rest and resupply point for those headed to Thorne Castle or further north, even to the Winter Kingdom.
Isabella looked ahead curiously, "I remember sneaking here to play as a kid. I can't believe how much it's changed!"
Elias laughed, "Not surprising at all, right? Considering you last came here over a hundred years ago, a lot of change is expected."
Isabella hummed in agreement, "You're right..."
They continued on.
This town was managed by a side branch of the Abraham family.
Guests arriving by the usual route would be received by family members and escorted to Thorne Castle by carriage.
However, as they neared the town's outskirts, a group of horsemen suddenly approached them.
