Chapter Title: The Stowaway's Plight

It was the morning of the fifth day since the carriage had departed from the capital.
In just two more days, they would arrive in Rendinium.
Outside, the servants driving the carriage changed shifts, eating and taking a break.
The knights gathered in small groups, chewing on jerky as they polished their swords.
Lellia lifted the canvas flap slightly to peer outside, then let her hand fall away weakly.
*Why is my body so hot…*
Lellia lay in the very same spot where she had first hidden herself.
For the past few days, she had been secretly slipping out late at night whenever the procession stopped to rest.
They usually made camp near a river or stream, so she had been able to drink plenty of water.
To avoid being detected by the knights, who were sensitive to any presence, she deliberately stuck to the areas where the servants slept.
But perhaps because she hadn’t eaten anything, she had no strength left in her body.
There was a limit to what the stamina recovery potions could do. She needed to open the screen and take a potion from her inventory, but she didn’t even have the energy for that.
Her entire body felt like it was on fire.
*I’m not going to die like this, am I…*
Lellia fumbled for the necklace at her throat, but her consciousness faded, and she fell into a deep sleep.
