章節 30: Mouse Trying To Climb A Mountain

After chatting with her grandfather, Oriana left the village. On her way out, she thankfully didn't see Luke, or else she worried he would question her again. 

Using the shortcut she had discovered by herself, she reached the other side of the forest within an hour. 

Oriana found herself standing in front of the main gate of the Wimark Estate by noon. 

The Wimark Estate was not located within the city itself, but situated on a remote but large valley quite a distance outside the city. The scope of its domain covered not only the manor but also the forest and several mountains at the outskirts of Jerusha. As the main residence of a duchal household, the walls of the manor itself spanned several hectares of land, almost the size of a town, and there were several mansions, buildings and gardens within.

It was simply enormous! Luxurious! To a commoner like Oriana, it was the grandest structure she had ever laid her eyes on.
