Lavina quickened her pace; the sun was starting to set, and soon it wouldn’t be safe for her to walk around town. Luckily for her, she knew where she was going, and what the fastest route was. The castle was located in the center of the Vutalia, which was about 20 minutes walking distance from the Golden Lizard.
She walked the dirt roads, passing by run down homes and shops that had been forced to close down. While it was a sad sight, the tavern miraculously was still thriving in these hard times. No matter the woes of the town, alcohol and women were always a necessity. The tavern had just that.
She was approaching her destination, as she could make out the towers of the castle. It wasn’t until she got closer that she realized it would be hard to get an audience with the King. He was not one to talk to just anyone about any little matter. There was a good chance Lavina would not even make it past the Castle guards.
She shrugged it off. There was no point in going back to the tavern anyways. She continued off, now sprinting to the castle doors.
