I didn't know what Helena meant by saying they were on their way already, but she refused to explain any further making the wait a bit awkward.
I'm a bit worried because If Mia and Famine arrive before the others, they might be in trouble. From what Mia told me, the kingdom of Loudeac is not a safe place for races other than human, but at least it is possible for them to remain hidden in between the crowd, besides most cities allow other races to coexist with them.
Since the kingdom of Loudeac is so far spread and it takes a long while to move from town to town, the crown doesn't really hold any actual power in cities far away from the capital. Most cities have their own set of rules that depend solely on the whims of the noblemen, which is why Celarent doesn't allow other races.
