It only took them just a few more minutes of walking through the wilderness when they finally reached another town.
"We're now in the coastal town of Escol," Darius informed. One of his men was already waiting for their arrival at a certain location. "Gideon had already arranged for everything beforehand. We just have to make sure we get there on the expected time."
Meeting up with their liaison, Darius helped Xenia mount another horse. He then followed suit and sat behind her. He was holding her firmly now as they started riding, but this time, he was well-behaved. They were currently traveling through the outskirts of the town, and some denizens were still busy outside that some might spot them if they showed too much affection for one another.
With a light kick, Darius told the horse to move faster. Their journey went smoothly until they finally reached the harbor.
