The morning sun had barely peeked over the horizon when the group began their preparations for the long journey ahead. Peterson and his crew mounted their horses and set off towards the cottage while Ivy joined Prince Leon and his knights on their carriage towards Grimville. The journey would take a week, and Prince Leon had meticulously arranged everything to ensure a smooth trip, from the food supplies to the carriage arrangements.
Ivy had woken up early, knowing there was much to prepare for the journey. But to her surprise, everything was already in motion, and she didn't have to lift a single finger. It was as if Prince Leon had read her mind and taken care of everything.
[What time did they start preparing for all this?] she wondered.
As she stepped outside the inn together with her familiars, Hope and Hero. They were greeted by a cheerful Lotty waving her hand in the air.
"Ah! Good Morning my lady!"
