Paths 2 and 3. We took Path 3, only to encounter another fork—this time, Path 3 and Path 8.

"This must be the way to the capital. Then that means this is…"

Harrison, who had missed seeing the spring firsthand while tending to the stables, gazed curiously down Path 3.

Aurora, just as intrigued, turned toward that direction with wide eyes.@@novelbin@@

"So this is the path leading to the spring?"

Since neither of them had seen the dried-up spring, their curiosity was understandable.

But we didn’t have time for detours. We had to get to the capital as quickly as possible.

"What’s this ‘spring’ you keep mentioning?"

Kellion, who was still in the dark, kept asking us about the spring. Naturally, no one answered him.

Kellion, looking a bit put out, finally fell silent.

I stole a glance at Aurora.

Secrets that weren’t in the novel keep surfacing. Could it really be that they have nothing to do with Aurora, the protagonist of the story?

The question gnawed at me. Of all things, I had to end up inside a discontinued novel, left to piece together mysteries with no resolution.

The only silver lining was that I still had some knowledge of the major events set to unfold over the next two years.
