The journey to Lowe Pass was long and difficult.
Prince Lucan's convoy moved together with General Robert and the reinforcement army that was being sent to guard Lowe Pass.
Hundreds of soldiers marched along the mountain road. Horses, supply wagons, and banners filled the long line that stretched across the hills.
Princess Karen looked outside. For three days she had been thinking about the perfect opportunity to escape. She had carefully observed the guards and the maids around her without revealing anything.
She sat inside the carriage quietly, her hands resting on her lap. Her son had already been taken away to ride with Prince Lucan, leaving her alone with two maids.
Outside, soldiers rode beside the carriage at all times.
Karen watched everything carefully through a small gap in the curtain.
The convoy stopped that night near a small river to rest.
The soldiers set up camp quickly. Fires were lit, tents were raised, and guards took their positions around the camp.
