One of the nobles had mentioned the rumor in passing, and although it had taken some time to uncover anything useful, Cedric had eventually managed to learn the name of the village.
From there, he had traveled with several of his men and begun searching for the woman called Rebecca. They hadn't found her house immediately and had spent a considerable amount of time asking questions and searching through the village before they were finally led to it. However, upon arriving, they discovered that the house was empty. Some of the belongings had clearly been packed away, and the place felt cold and abandoned.
"But there's no one here," Cedric had said to the neighbor who had brought them to the house.
"She must have fled," the woman replied.
