The sun had barely set down, when Chole, Charlie, and I set out from Coast haven , the capital of wavecrest, to the Driftwood village.
I am currently heading towards the Driftwood Village. Driftwood village is known for trading and lot of entertaining village. It is a traveller spot. Mainly known for circus exhibition and nomadic group who travel a lot.
I inquired about the witch who sold me the healing potion at my home Hightide haven; Where the fire elemental appeared and attacked the city and disrupted the fair which caused Lyra to disappear.
I have asked a lot of people and they have no idea about the witch. I have asked the mage guild, but her mage license was cancelled and even though I got original copy it was fake and useless as it doesn't specify her location. Her town is basically non existent in the original license.
I took Flare's advice and asked in the tavern of Coastal haven and multiple people have pointed out they have seen her as the weird witch selling creepy potions. They have also shown the same picture of mine. It was the same witch!!
It's crazy how I got information from the unlikely place I can search. Who have expected Flare's advice is right. I can note tavern to find good source of information.
Tavern is like a bar filled with group of people. But also where I find most adventures and travellers at that places. The travellers warned me about the mythical beast hunting them along driftwood village. People have filed a lot of missing cases around the village.
The forest We are moving along is called driftwood forest. I want to find that witch.
I don't know what happened but the witch was the main cause of it and I don't have the heart to forgive her for what she made. I never forget and will track and hunt her down. Especially for what she done to my people, I can still remember what kind of faces and expressions during the tragedy.
I know I am overreacting. But for someone who has spent a lot of time after I went outside the castle. I quickly became attached to the people of my hometown despite trying to stay from personal attachment.
They are a joyous and fun people and the way they treated me special and the respect they gave made me care more about them. They are the people who supply food, income for us. So I basically have king-commoner relationship where I am hurt my kingdom is hurt.
I can't explain properly but I am hurt when they hurt the people within my hometown.
I am currently sleeping on my carriage, my room filled with woman seraphina, a maid and chole sleeping in that rooms. Mix of various perfumes have filled my nostrils.
I can't sleep around like this.
Meanwhile I reached out her and carefully lifted a strand of Seraphina's hair. I twirled it around my finger, watching it in the dim light.
Then I used the same hair strands and pushed them inside Seraphina nose and watched it as it tickled and her sneezing and moving uncomfortably.
"Ethan?" she opened, her voice with anger as she continued. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, I was harassing you." I replied with stoic tone and continued with teasing tone " Your sneeze is cute, I like the way your face makes when you feel uncomfortable "
Seraphina sat up, rubbing her nose with a grumpy pout. Despite her annoyance, her face was little soft. "I thought you were supposed to be sleeping, My lord" she mumbled, trying to regain her composure
"Couldn't resist," I admitted. "Besides, you're more fun." I continued
A faint blush colored her cheeks, and she swatted playfully at my arm. "You're insufferable young master," she grumbled, but her voice lacked any real heat.
