A few hours later –
After being taken back to my tent, I rested there for a while. Roxanne's words kept running through my mind. The vision she claimed to have about the future had turned out to be entirely accurate, and she had made it a point to tell me I absolutely needed to go to the palace. Now, I couldn't stop thinking about what might happen at the palace, my mind filled with endless speculation, until I slapped myself hard on the cheek to put an end to it.
These thoughts would only make me paranoid and unbalanced. As soon as I escaped from here, I would head to the palace as quickly as possible, so there was no point dwelling on it any longer. I also recalled Roxanne urging me to take Marsiel with me, so I continued resting, planning a route to first pick him up and then proceed to the palace.
