There was another episode of rain last night, as the sound of raindrop could be heard the entire night. It would take some time of listening for the force of the heavy rain and the screams of the Shawob River to be distinguished. Oscar had gotten up really early from his camp bed. He did not get much sleep that night.
At five o'clock in the early morning, the young Prince of the Empire and the entourage of his battalion left the ferry and went ashore at one of the small riverside towns called Limusk at the Weisner Province, before moving south along the provincial road outside the town. The soldiers started having second thoughts not long after setting out. Didn't His Imperial Highness want to hurry back to Dulin?
Yet, this current road would never lead there.
