Chapitre 79: Short-lived happiness

Bai Yue's goal was freedom but the road to it was still uncertain. Looking at the shabby rented carriage and the three bags containing the few possessions she intended to bring along, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety about the unknown future.

It was only human for her to feel like this, she reminded herself countless times as she put the bags into the carriage.
