The location that Broken and Princess Alora were headed to was about a 30-minute walk. It was a cave situated in a desolate desert area. Scattered around were several carts filled with ores, and broken pickaxes littered the ground. There were also bloodstains near the cave's entrance. When they arrived, Ulrich, with eyes wide, turned to face Alora.
"Your Highness, it's inside, about a 30-minute walk," he said, his voice trembling.
"Okay, let's proceed," Alora commanded.
Princess Alora led the way, followed by Tristan, Ulrich, two city guards, and Broken. Inside the cave, the path was illuminated by crystal lamps placed every few steps. The cave appeared chaotic, with broken wooden carts scattered around and other signs of disarray.
