"Oh... how long will it take me to recover?" Emmelyn asked Lily.
She didn't really pay attention to the technicalities when her older sisters gave birth to their children. She only remembered the ugly babies and that her sisters all looked weak for weeks and didn't do much.
"Oh.. it will take weeks," Lily explained. "But as long as you rest well, you will recover properly."
Emmelyn thought she didn't have weeks. What should she do? Should she hide somewhere in the capital while waiting for her husband to return or should she just go immediately to Atlantea?
Mrs. Adler said she could buy an old wagon belonged to her neighbor for ten silver coins. And they could use the wagon to leave Draec.
Last night, while she was up all night enduring her pain, Emmelyn and Mrs. Adler secretly discussed their escape plan. Knowing that Emmelyn wanted to leave the capital to find the Leoraleis in Myreen, the old witch suddenly proposed to go with Emmelyn.
