Third person POV
After that, before Russell and his party and group would leave, Eloni handed Russell a folded piece of paper. It was a letter.
"Here, deliver this to the duke of Geran," the guild master said to him. "His home was in Wallisville."
Accepting it as a request from him, Russell replied nicely, "Okay, I will. Thank you."
"Yes, and you don't have to worry about coming back here with his reply. I'll just wait for it instead."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
With that, Russell tucked the letter into his suit pocket and looked at Azalea and the others. "Alright, guys, let's go."
And so, all of them left the guild as Denali and Eloni said goodbye to them.
Then, all of them went to the secluded space, where Russell and his party and group hopped into his bus. Cassius hopped on his horse, ready for their next route and destination. Russell changed the sign facing the windshield into another one that says, "Wallisville" as a next destination for his next route.
Wallisville is located in the heart of the Geran Dukedom, which is a dukedom in the southeastern part of the kingdom and is the dukedom where Hadrianwood and Marewell Town are located.
After changing the sign, Russell said to his party and group, "Alright, everyone, let's go to a place called Wallisville."
His party and group agreed with him, and with that, Russell shoved his ignition key into the key slot and turned it counterclockwise.
This started the bus's engine, and Russell buckled up, closed the door, and shifted the driving stick to Drive, before driving his bus out of the secluded spot and onto the street it went.
As usual with his way of going with Russell and his group, Cassius followed them from behind on horseback.
Before leaving the town, Russell stopped his bus at a street to wait for any potential passengers. After some waiting, 6 people, all are humans, saw that and since they are also going to Wallisville, they knocked on the bus door for a ride. 2 of them, who were milkmen, heard the story of someone who is young yet can drive what the creators of that story called "a complex and fast machine", so both men are interested to try riding his bus. As always with his Filipino-style of hospitality, Russell welcomed in, and the six people hopped in and settled on some seats in the middle and back.
As Russell closed the door, his party and group gave them an additional greeting, much to the six people's delight.
With that, Russell shifted the gear to Drive and went off out of town in the southeastern direction, prompting Cassius to follow them from behind.
The drive from Leafmight to Wallisville at the speed of 40 kilometers per hour is nice and brief. It lasted for 29 minutes. The surrounding environment off the paved road is forests and grasslands, plus a couple of farming fields in nearby villages.
Along the way to their next destination, Russell and his group noticed a middle-aged man, dressed in elaborate clothes and had 2 people with him, sitting by the roadside with his belongings while looking down. Concerned, Russell pulled over and opened the door. "Are you okay, sir?" he asked him.
The man and his small entourage then looked at him.
"Can you help us?" the duke asked him.
"Yes, of course," Russell replied back, "hop in."
So, the man and his entourage grabbed their belongings and hopped in, settling in the back.
The passengers noticed them and were shocked that the man was the current Duke of Geran.
Cassius saw him from a window and was shocked, too.
"So, where are you going, sir?" Russell asked the man.
"To my house is called the Blue Jay Estate," the man replied back. "It was located north of Wallisville."
"Okay then."
Without knowing that the new passenger was a duke, Russell closed the door and continued their short, less-than-an-hour journey towards Wallisville.
Cassius is following them from behind while monitoring the duke in his mind.
