180: Worst case scenario

“How much longer will we have to keep moving? I can’t even feel my feet anymore” Maria regretted her decision to travel with a spoilt princess for the hundredth time as she heard the complaints. They had not even been walking that long in her opinion but Venus still voiced her complaints to her.

Maria ignored her and kept walking down the road she had found in the forest. The lively forest provided a decent distraction from the princess’s whine but Maria couldn't help but still hear them.

“The village should be nearby. I can’t help but feel like we are missing something here.” Maria replied, completely hearing the princess’s complaints. She tried to not let the princess distract her from her work but it was a difficult thing to do.

The princess was not only loud but commanded incredible presence as well. The forest sounded a little noisier when she walked through it. Or it might just be Maria’s imagination at work, making her think that.
