It was already evening when they arrived in a small town called Alverton. They decided to stop by this town for the night before continuing their journey, but there was a slight problem.
"Who are you guys? I haven't seen your faces before."
The guards at the entrance of the town eyed them suspiciously.
Henry took a step forward and said.
"We are from North Pine Town. We got lost because of the snowstorm and we found our way here after the sky cleared up."
They had already agreed beforehand that they would hide their identities. Alaric didn't want anyone to know their tracks since they were escorting Yvanna who had a very sensitive identity.
"North Pine Town? That's quite far from here. Why did you guys even travel during the snowstorm?"
Henry remained calm in the face of their questioning. He had already memorized his answers so he was able to provide them with a believable story.
"…that's how we ended up here."
