The Researcher's Journey

Chapter 11: Toward The East.

Stella nodded in the affirmative, Albert said, "Then you have to ask Alma about her, she knows a lot, I only know a little."
"Well, I'll ask her when we're on the way, but now I'm feeling tired, and I'm going to go to rest Sir."
"We're almost there."
The two arrived at the set, Alma and John were waiting for them at the entrance to the willow forest, she was wearing a leather coat and a brown dress, when she saw them she shouted at Stella, "Where have you been, girl ? do you know what happened to me when I woke up and I couldn't find you ? I'm still shaking now !"
"Oh my god ! Who's going to get rid of this now ?"
Stella replied with a struggle, "Actually I have…"
Albert interrupted her, saying, "She went to relieve herself in the woods and got lost, because she was embarrassed to wake you up for that."
"Uh, how clumsy you are, why the embarrassment if you just woke me up ?"
Albert, "Well, now that Alina is back, we should rest, because we still have a long way to go, come on."
After hearing his words, everyone went to their places to rest.
In the carriage Stella kept thinking about what had happened to her today, and about Mr. Albert, he looked totally different.
She took out that necklace and started checking it, it was already pure gold, fortunately, the fire did not reach the vicinity of the well, otherwise, it would have been damaged too, she thought that it might belong to one of the residents of the village.
"Anyway, I didn't go there in vain, I got this, if necessary I will sell it, to get some money."
After much thought and planning, she finally succumbed to sleep.
Dawn came, with threads of light, and as everyone agreed, they woke up, to continue their way, they still had a day to get to the east, to show there their goods in the eastern capital 'Plain Of The East.'
Already a day later and without stopping the convoy reached the city.
The atmosphere was completely different from the villages, the largest city of the East and its capital. It has the biggest trading markets on the continent.
That's what Stella heard from Alma, although her expectations were low because she didn't want to get excited like in the abandoned village  But as soon as they arrived in the city, her outlook completely changed, and she was impressed.  
"I didn't expect it to be like this, it looks like a city in a fairy tale."
