They were close enough to King’s City so they didn’t have to stop for the night. After riding in the carriage for nearly two weeks, Rema’s legs were tight and her back sore. Soon, she would be able to stretch her limbs and walk around. At least, she hoped that would be the case. Rema was excited at the prospect of experiencing the city. No one from Jarko had ever seen King’s City since travel was forbidden. But, what was going to happen once they reached it? Where would she be taken and how would she be treated? “Bloody hell. Why aren’t we there yet?” Lennek mumbled. “I could use a little entertainment.” He snickered, briefly glancing over at Rema. This was the first he’d spoken to her since that day at the ocean cliffs. Rema glared at him. All the rumors she had heard about Lennek seemed to be true. His actions so far had proven him a pompous, arrogant, self-righteous pig. She hated him. Rema turned her attention back outside the carriage.
