Chapter 14: A Slight Delay
Amelia said her goodbyes before we departed for Nexus, but it was definitely odd having another person with us. Cynthia wouldn't be the worst addition to the group, just it's different to add someone new.
She was very pretty at least and she seems to have more experience than we do. It was hard not to notice that she kept a very close eye on me as we started traveling together.
I'm sure Marcelo was the one that asked her to keep an eye on me since I'm just some stranger who showed up with his niece. The chains should've been more of a giveaway that I wasn't originally here by choice.
I guess even a man like him can be incapable of noticing such a thing.
They continue through the beautiful forest around them as the path continues for Nexus. Not much happens in this area since the town nearby is known for its unusually low crime rate.
Most people believe it's from the amount of guards or even the strong Adventurers that pass through.
Either way they made it through the forest by the town pretty easily.
A Day and a half passes. Just outside the city of Nexus.
You could definitely tell it was a trade city by the amount of ship bells that could be heard by the edge of the city itself. This was definitely the right place but something felt off.
