Trafficked: Reborn Heir's Revenge

Chapter 46: The Forest Path of Fools and Fortune

Roderick didn’t explicitly tell them where to go.

But no one was a fool. With the Southern Sea behind them, the only path was forward.

Two differ roads stretched out ahead.

One was wide and smooth—meant for carriages and chariots. It was the main path, clearly the route every citizen used. It wound upward in a lazy curve, leading directly to the Empire’s outer wall. A tempting option. Safe. Obvious.
