Two weeks had passed since Thirteen and the rest arrived in Artem.
During that time, Armand accompanied them as they inspected the surrounding villages, towns, and cities.
They weren't doing random inspections, but steadily making their way toward one of the cities where they could rent an Airship that would travel to the City of Velgrande, where the Royal Palace was located.
But just like Armand had stated, the journey to the capital would take them half a month, with only Erasmus going there by himself.
Thirteen had to stay behind, as the Chandrean royal blood in his veins had the prospect of drawing unwanted attention.
When he was still Zia, the Artemian Ministers had detected her royal bloodline, which prompted them to kidnap her.
The chances of that event reoccurring were slim, but he'd rather not risk it.
Also, he needed to be there to guide the Jinn Army as they slowly moved underground.
