The convoy stretched longer than Raze had initially expected. Fifteen carriages total, each bearing the royal crest of Westia emblazoned in silver and blue. The lead carriage carried palace officials who'd coordinate their arrival. The final three were supply wagons loaded with provisions for the journey. Between them, the thirty delegates were distributed in groups of two or three per carriage.
Raze and Fedora shared their carriage with a quiet girl named Sera who spent most of the first day reading cultivation manuals. She'd introduce herself politely then retreat into her studies, content to let them have their space. The arrangement suited everyone.
