All it took was a single meal together for Maria and Lidia to resolve their issues. It was as if food was some magical concoction that always fixed both of their moods and problems. Jacob had never seen anything like it. As they ate, they started discussing where they wanted to go. Even though they were dozens of miles away from the kingdom, they still wanted to put some distance between them and Leo.
"Theres a few places we can go that are just beyond the mountain pass. They are smaller villages, so they wouldn't provide us a lot, but enough to satisfy us for a while. We could also go to the domain of Paria Empire, but as you all know, I am a wanted man. That wouldn't go too well. What do you all think we should do?"
Lidia in particular seemed to want to say something. She slowly put her bowl of soup down before speaking.
"I think we should look for my family. They have to be out there somewhere. There's no way they would all die so easily."
