As soon as dawn broke, Adeline was ready to go. She had barely slept, the upcoming journey to the Northern Duchy was all that she could think of.

Besides her father, she was accompanied by four elite guards, an imposing group whose sole purpose was protection. When they made use of the circle, her father and the guards felt slightly nauseated but it was something they were used to.
