The group walked toward the workers laboring in the fields. They all seemed to be immersed in their work and didn't notice them approaching for a while. Eventually, one of the workers spotted them and dropped the bag of crops they were carrying in shock.
"No way... Is that who I think it is?"
Other workers seemed to slowly notice as well.
"It's Miss Lidia and Miss Maria! They're alive!!"
All of the workers started running over to greet them. Lidia held up her hands as they rushed to them.
"Woah woah guys, try not to draw too much attention if you can. We are actually wanted refugees right now."
Everyone looked at her in disbelief.
"We were told the nobles and royalty were wiped out in the battle. We had no choice but to accept King Leo as the new ruler."
Maria's stomach loudly rumbled, causing her to blush. Jacob finally spoke up.
