As their caravan made its way through the forested landscapes and countryside, Hallen found a lull in the moment to engage Lassim in conversation.
The rhythmic clatter of the carriages against the road provided a soothing backdrop to Hallen leaning forward, getting Lassim's attention.
"Young Master, have you ever delved into the lore of the Aetheria Kingdom? Are you familiar with it?" Hallen inquired, passing the time as he glanced at Lassim.
Lassim shook his head slightly, "Not really. My father and tutor at the Vanthar estate focused mostly on the Aurora Kingdom and its nobility. That way I'd be able to recognize the other noble's crests and be aware of our alliances at the time. They always mentioned that I would learn about the surrounding kingdoms in due time."
2k words for you! I’m so tired right now. Had 5 hrs sleep, work this morning and now I have work again in another hour. I’m so exhausted. I’ll probably have another late chapter tomorrow. I’ll do my best. thanks for your support everyday! also, sorry if this chapter has errors or typos, my brain isn’t working super great right now in catching everything. i had to adjust the paragraphs a few times so there might be one out of order. I think I fixed it all, but not sure. my brain is so tired.
