Chapter 17: Irreconcilable Differences

A horse-drawn carriage quietly slipped out of Ugru into the night, heading north at a swift pace. Aside from Komer, the only other passengers were Caffrey and Fran. The carriage belonged to Caffrey, and although its craftsmanship wasn't particularly exquisite, it boasted a simple, lively style. A small skylight was built into the center of the oak carriage body, and on sunny days, a ray of sunlight shone through the window, the sound of the wind whistling past, brushing the cheeks of those on the carriage.

Having passed through the Leon Region, Komer was not afraid of attacks from the Leon Gang, but he also did not want to trouble himself with these nuisances. He simply wished to safely reach Jazair first, to get to know the kingdom's officials in charge of domestic affairs through Caffrey's connections, and to clear the way by establishing good relations.
