The journey from Luton to London was smooth, without any trouble.
Emma finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started complaining to Eric about the awful things she had encountered on the road.
She had managed to escape Xialing City, but being completely penniless, she was forced to seek help from her uncle, a Knight in the Gloucester Region.
Although her father and he were brothers, their relationship was quite poor, and they rarely kept in contact.
Emma had thought he would at least take Richard in, considering their blood ties. But forget about taking them in; he didn't give her a single coin and instead threw both her and Richard out.
Because of her father, the Earl of Hereford's, rebellion, her uncle, as the Earl's brother, had been implicated and stripped of half his lands. Now, he could barely cover his own family's expenses.
Not only did he throw them out, but he said many nasty things to them as well.
