Chapter 5 - Freedom
Everything happened so fast.
King Francis pronounced us man and wife that very day and gave us a considerable amount of gold as a wedding present.
It was probably because the King doesn't wish to owe any debts to a feral wandering mage.
After the ceremony, Jayce helped me into a carriage and we left my father's estate for good.
I was going to miss my home, the house where my mother watched me grow up in.
I suddenly heard laughter and I looked up to find Jayce, my new husband, chuckling to himself.
Noticing that I was staring, he looked up at me and smiled.
Jayce Ember
Sorry about that. I don't think that we've formally met yet.
Jayce Ember
I'm Jayce Ember, but you are welcome to call me whatever pet name you used fit!
He seems to be wanting to do introductions. I guess that is only natural. We have just got married.
Skye Wynter
I'm Skye Wynter.
Jayce Ember
Ah yes, the supposed tri-wielder.
Tri-wielder? What does that mean?
Jayce Ember
And I believe that she kept you in the dark about it. I would have too, all things considered.
Skye Wynter
You knew my mother?
Jayce Ember
Yes. She shared her rations with me when she found me hunting herbs in Hobbling Pond.
I looked at him, horrified.
Skye Wynter
Hobbling Pond? The pond-
Jayce Ember
Infested with parasite monsters? Yes.
Jayce Ember
That's where the best quality herbs are. Don't worry, I wore a special repellent so none of them came near me.
Jayce Ember
Anyway, your mother found me and believed that I was lost so she took me in until she and her squad reached Kinghendron.
Jayce Ember
She was very kind, too kind. That was her downfall, I'm afraid.
Skye Wynter
Don't badmouth my mother.
Jayce Ember
She talked about you often...
Jayce Ember
She told me about her beautiful daughter who wanted to be just like her mother, an Imperial Knight.
Jayce Ember
And she also told me a special secret that I doubt you even know.
Jayce Ember
You'll have to wait until we get to our new home for that.
A new home... a new start.
Skye Wynter
When are you fixing the plague problem?
Jayce Ember
Soon. I've already found the source so purification won't be impossible.
He extended his hand out and smiled as the carriage stopped in front of a charming little cottage.
Jayce Ember
Shall I escort you inside or carry you?
I immediately took his hand before he even thought about carrying me inside and we both gently walked inside.
It was quiet, but very messy. There were no maids or servants or butlers. It was just... peaceful.
Jayce Ember
It's been two years since I came back to this place.
Skye Wynter
That's a long time away from somewhere.
Jayce Ember
Not when you're a natural wanderer like me.
Jayce Ember
Come on, I'll give you a tour, despite how miniscule it is.
