「Early morning.」
A magnificent carriage, drawn by four fine steeds, moved slowly along a country road in New Wood Town, its wheels leaving deep ruts in the muddy path.
Following the carriage was a troop of fully armed soldiers and respectful attendants, marching in neat formation through the mud.
At the front of the procession were several Knight's Attendants on packhorses. They wore Chain Armor, with longswords at their waists, and scanned their surroundings.
A few powerful warhorses were led by attendants, their saddles draped with cloths embroidered with the Hans Clan's coat of arms.
The dull thud of hooves on the muddy ground mingled with the soldiers' marching, echoing along the country road in the early morning.
Inside the carriage, a girl of about six sat ramrod straight. Her long, golden hair was meticulously braided into a bun, revealing a smooth forehead and delicate features.
Though young, her azure eyes held a composure far beyond her years.
