Liam and Grace talked often, if not all the time. Most of their conversations were about the sensual game she had invented after their separation, but they also updated each other.
Grace and the others had been on the border between the western and northern regions for months already. Their large detours had wasted time but had also kept that crossing uneventful.
Theoretically, the group could have already crossed into the western region, too, but had decided against it, with multiple reasons backing up that approach.
First, those borders were relatively lawless, meaning they were safer from the Kingdom's forces. They were the only places in the Kingdom where the Guilds and Church had little authority.
For a criminal force, that environment was a paradise. It was why Liam and Grace had settled on the border between the eastern and northern regions after the inheritance's events. Even the enemy was the same.
