A day had passed, and the journey still continued. Ariana had originally thought it would not take this long…maybe just until night or late evening—but no. It was so bad that even after a whole day, they were still on the road.
The harsh afternoon sun sliced through the window, but thankfully, she was sitting on the other side with the Seer, so it did not touch her. A soft smile curved on her lips as she ate the pineapple fruit neatly cut on a plate.
Thanks to the things they had prepared, she did not feel hungry—or was it simply the adrenaline pumping through her body that made eating difficult? She wondered deeply if it would take yet another day.
Just then, the carriage came to a stop. Ariana frowned, wondering why, since the only time it usually stopped was when either she or the Seer wanted to pee, when they wanted to eat, or when the horses needed water or food. But they had just done that not even a few minutes ago, so this sudden stop was shocking.
