Jielana, 16, the ninth daughter of the king of Zahari Kingdom, was about to be married off as a political investment to the neighboring power—the Galama Empire. Currently, she was confined to her own bedroom, and in another day would be sent to the land of the Lizardmen.
This was the information Lin Ge had learned from her.
"I really want to escape to another world. That way, I wouldn't have to marry a lizard," Jielana slurred, sprawled over the bar, her small hand patting the countertop in dissatisfaction.
After a quiet moment, just when Lin Ge thought she might have fallen asleep, she suddenly lifted her head, her bleary eyes focusing on Lin Ge as she asked:
"By the way, how did I even get here?"
Lin Ge said, "Miss Jielana, did you see anyone else on your way here?"
"Haven't I said already? I only woke up when I heard the sound of the wind chimes. When I opened my eyes, I was standing in front of this pub," Jielana muttered.
