488 Beginning of the Journey to Saltstar City 

Five days after the Mazzanti family incident, a new day dawned in Millfall, with a sky completely blue by daybreak.

The city seemed to have calmed down after the Mazzanti family's fall, with citizens returning to their usual lives but still commenting on the local changes.

As local guards and early risers commented in hushed voices on the resurgence of the Scarlet Syndicate faction, a few carriages parked outside the Fuller estate began to move.

Of the three carriages bearing the Fuller family crest, two contained the family's luggage and the house's official subordinates, while the middle vehicle carried Nina and Eve.

After days of preparing for the family's move from Millfall, this group was ready to leave for Saltstar City!

Nina had already said goodbye to all her friends and colleagues, as well as Shelby. Now, she was looking forward to her new journey.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

She didn't mind changing cities or academies. The most important thing for her was to be by her brother's side. But she was nervous because the last time she was in Saltstar City, she went deaf and lost her mother, father, and older sister.

So Nina couldn't help but feel anxious as she sat in the carriage with Eve, a little pale and sweating profusely.

Eve could understand the girl in front of her and said. "Don't worry, Nina, everything will be fine. We'll meet Rory and your brother right after we leave Millfall. They'll protect us on the way to Saltstar City."

"Hmm, I hope nothing bad happens," Nina mumbled, thinking that if something did happen, she'd rather not survive it.

She didn't want to have to deal with another tragedy! If something bad were going to happen, she would honestly prefer to be to her and not to her brother or Rory or Eve!

Eve could feel how worried Nina was, which made her ache for this child's reality. Despite having almost everything, this young girl had suffered a lot in her short life.

As the two sat in silence in the carriage, their convoy soon arrived at one of Millfall's exits, where a group of soldiers stood around checking people coming and going from the town.

"Fuller family..." A soldier spotted the symbol of this family and narrowed his eyes, remembering that the incident with Sovereign Adams had happened right in front of this merchant's house.

After the fall of Adams, the army was already on the move. High-level reinforcements had already left the capital to come to the city. At the same time, local soldiers already knew the basics about the battle in front of the Fuller estate.

Because of this, there was some questioning among the soldiers as to why everything had happened in front of that estate...

Of course, it wasn't enough to connect House Fuller and Colonel Adams' killers, but it was something to consider.

"Fuller family group, what is your intention in leaving the city? And where are you going?" A soldier asked one of the men in the front carriage of the group while the other soldiers checked the three carriages for hidden people and strange signs.

But there was nothing strange. All that was in the carriages were people who had nothing to do with the local problems and lots of luggage with ordinary clothes and personal items.

The coachman of the first carriage replied when the soldiers there discovered that there was nothing unusual about these vehicles. "The Fuller family is leaving Millfall. Our young lady has been accepted as a student of a renowned Mage who currently resides in Saltstar City. Because of this opportunity, we are moving to that city."

"Oh?" The royal soldier who questioned him was surprised, but it wasn't a bad excuse. "Who is this renowned Mage?"

"Professor Newton." Vicente's man replied, knowing that this wouldn't be a secret and would also help keep them out of suspicion.

The idea was that they wouldn't appear to be fleeing the city but moving to a better place!

"Newton? The genius from Ironcrest?"

Several soldiers in the area asked themselves the same question, surprised that a young girl who was still at the basic academy had been accepted as a student by such a person.

"This is the one." The coachman of the first carriage smiled. "Anyway, there's a problem. Captain? Are there any dangers ahead that we should be aware of?"

"You should be careful. The province has been more dangerous than usual lately. In any case, you are free to go. Have a safe journey." The royal soldier said as he led the way for the group, finding no reason to stop them there.

As the carriages continued, three of the various soldiers on their way out of the city joined the man who had just spoken.

"Are you sure we shouldn't question them further?" One of the Captains asked.

"Say what else?" The group leader asked. "What can we learn from a group of Acolytes and Apprentices who left the city for a good reason?"

"The man may have been lying."

lightsnοvεl "No, what the man said was factual. Some time ago, Newton was seen in Millfall. He was visiting the Fuller family. So it may be true." The man said it because Newton was a very important figure, and whenever he entered a provincial city, the royal forces kept an eye on his movements.

It wasn't to keep him under control. It was to keep him safe because the king valued him, and it would be a shame if he fell in a king's city.

That's why this group knew that Newton had visited Vicente, although they didn't know that the professor had also visited Cesar!

"Anyway, we'll inform the Commandant. She'll take care of communicating with the battalions in Saltstar City about it. If it's false, we can act against the Fuller family and force them to tell the truth." The leader there said, ending the matter.

Nina's group left Millfall without further problems and soon made their way through the Crow Woods, where Vicente and Rory would join the group the next day to continue their journey to Saltstar City.

Sarah and Bart would also make their way to Saltstar City. Yet, they would keep a certain distance, traveling hundreds of feet above the ground to not cause trouble for the group or signal to Nina what they shouldn't.

And so began the three-week journey between Millfall and Saltstar City!
