"My lady, what the city of Portos is like?" asked Giselle to her lady.
They were currently having lunch at a roadside inn during one of their resting stops.
"Well, what have you heard about Portos so far?" asked Evelyn back.
"The other servants said it's an unsavory place filled with criminals and thugs. The way they described it made me think of Portos as one of the worse cities in the Empire."
Evelyn nodded to Giselle's words.
"What you just said couldn't be further from the truth."
"Is Portos really that dangerous? Why, my lady?" asked Giselle again.
"It's mostly because the city is used as a smuggling route into the Empire."
Evelyn pulled out a map of Mortalia and presented it to Giselle.
