บท 97: Water and Wine

Serenica Ingram was in need of a horse.

She had never owned one. She could ride one, though, and she needed to transport herself into the neighboring town somehow. She hadn't received her permission papers yet, but she was quite sure her friend would soon be able to reproduce and by then, Myorka would be overjoyed to help Serenica become a doctor.

The wet season was over. The Princess was still being repaired, and so was Neul. The fire had destroyed a lot of property. Without a person like Kinley in charge, the city actually had a chance to get back to its normal state.

Serenica had no delusions about Neul. It had always been a degenerate place. It would slide right back into the ways of corruption and oppression when given a chance to do so.

She mulled over all the different options she had. She could rent a horse, but that felt like something a lowly peasant would do.
