4.1 The Serpent river - Part 1

On the first day of our journey, we were planning to spend the night in a small village close to the Serpent River.

From what was written on the paper that I was holding, it was a small farming village with a population of four hundred. Since it was mentioned that the paper was submitted in the last harvesting season, the statistics mentioned must be pretty accurate.

The carriage we were in was comfortable to the point that I was barely feeling any exhaustion even though it had been several hours since the journey started.

Princess Anna was asleep in princess Eliane's lap, while Markus was comfortably leaning back and relaxing. He had taken over most of the Duke's work during the reconstruction, so he was finally getting some time to take a break.
