"Let's, let's, let's go then, yes..."

They traveled forth with no delay, and the first road was empty. Even waiting for a while didn't help; thus, directed by Jill and Albrecht, the group approached the second route that cut through their path roughtly on east-west line.

There! A middle-aged, rotund man was leading a wagon loaded with boxes and barrels. Two swordsmen rode by him, and two youngsters were hanging amongst the carried merchandise, the freckle-sprinkled faces curiously watching the Princess' entourage. Sophia herself retreated to the back of the group, leaving mostly Johannes and Priscilla in the front.

The merchant slowed down the horses and his guards instinctively put their hands on the handles of their swords. The fat merchant smiled, his bushy moustache raising alongside the curves of his lips.

"May the Light guide you in your journeys, travelers. Can I be of any assistance?"

Albrecht turned to Priscilla

"I can lend you my throwing ax. It and my lance are both sharp, I can manage with just one weapon."

"I need to know if Joachim... is alright. And, and, and if we're all together, I'm sure we can find out the truth about all of this."

"I'm also in favor of continuing until we meet up with my cousin."

Age of Empires 2; had it when I was a kid, with Conquerors demo too.

Bought it on Steam with all expansions and boy, infinite fun.

I'm pretty sure it's been more than 24 hours by now, looks like Roboson isn't going to post.

Yeah, will update shortly.

You crazy? ;v

"I... I... no, he will be set free. Some believe that Hede's grace should not be encompassing criminals, but I disagree with that viewpoint." She took a deep breath and looked at Priscilla.

"Undo the bindings, Priscilla. I mean... please."

"That's... well, Joachim's parents received a letter signed by the King himself, telling that Princess Sophia needs to discuss their marriage plans. The letter also mentioned that the Princess will meet with him at Ondeviik, Lichteisen's summer villa. Having received such summons, Joachim's parents of course sent him without delay, along with proper entourage, of course."

_{"C-c-can I go?"} The archer squirmed in his binds.

@Les interrogateurs:

"N-no idea... I've overhead them once, and they spoke Herzgottian, like everyone around here. And, uh, um, there's Ari and his mercenaries, but I do not know where they went..."

"Where they mostly archers and horsemen, led by a young swordsman?"

"Y-yes." Albrecht nodded.

"Then it was the group that tried to ambush Joachim. Plenty sure we left no survivors."

@Others:

"Don't... don't mention it, Venza." The Princess glanced at he bodies, and clutched her staff hard before turning her gaze away.

"If this is all because of me..." The Princess drew in a deep, yet shaky breath.
