Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1504

At the break of dawn, the large procession set out for Orivenia.

Carissa didn't feel much regret in leaving. After all, they would pass through Victory Pass on the way back, and she would have the chance to meet with her grandfather and his family again.

Once they had left Victory Pass, the road grew rougher. Many sections were full of deep potholes or had been intentionally damaged, making it difficult for the carriages to move forward.

However, Kendrick was determined not to ride a horse again. Even after days of rest, his legs were still sore from the relentless friction of the saddle. Walking was manageable, but sitting on horseback?

That was pure agony.

So, despite having earned his merit at Victory Pass for establishing an orphanage there, Kendrick insisted on traveling by carriage. When the wheels got stuck or the path became too treacherous, the Mystic Army soldiers dismounted and pushed the carriage forward, inching their way through the difficult terrain.

Fortunately, the roads had been cleared between the two kingdoms, and they were able to use the routes that had been established for such purposes. Had they needed to cross the high mountains, Kendrick's noble rear end would have surely suffered greatly.

As they entered Orivenia territory, the officials and soldiers of Orivenia were there to greet them and escort them toward Fawnrun City.

Apart from the translator, everyone else from Starhaven was visiting Orivenia for the first time.

While it was still a border city, Fawnrun City was clearly in worse shape than Victory Pass. The streets were lined with dilapidated buildings and ragged beggars, and the faces of the common folk were marred with sorrow and worry.
