A few weeks ago...
It was pitch black in the night and Penny ran through a farm.
She wore no shoes even though it was winter and it was cold.
For her to successfully escape the Manor, she had no choice but to leave her foot wear behind.
l
It just made too much noise, and that could wake them up. She didn't want to take the chances.
Besides she moved better without the damn shoes.
Also, her body composition had always better than that of the average person.
This was her fourth attempt at escape from the Bolos Estate and she was sure that this ti around, she was going to make it.
She was sure that this route she had taken was the way back.
It had to be.
Her sense of direction, purely based on instincts had never been wrong and she doubted that it was going to Gail her now.
Lord Bolos Baraka had allowed her to navigate the Manor as she so pleased, saying that she was more of a guest than she was a prisoner.
He intended to gift her to Viscount Peter.
The viscount would have thought it an insult to be gifted a prisoner, and so the tag of Guest.
But Penny knew that at all tis her every action was always watched.
Besides, she was never allowed to step out of the Manor.
Also, they were many rooms she was never allowed to enter.
Unfortunately, for those in the manor, the kitchen was not one of those places.
She had made this plan soonest after she had been caught on her last escape.
Firstly, for the entire week, she had ensured that she kept to a Ridgid schedule.
Always doing one thing or another by the hour.
By the fourth day, she had done the sa thing all over and over again that it had easily beco a predicted routine.
One of which was going gathering her own herbs from the manor farm and making her own als.
Of course, the chefs would always insist, but she would always refuse.
She wanted to always make her own als.
She would say that their cooking was not appealing and that a noble woman needed to always practice in the kitchen in order to be ae to please her husband.
When the Baron heard those words, he was surprisingly supportive of them.
Indicating that his own daughter should also learn a thing or two from Penny.
This was the opportunity that presented itself and she used to the best of her advantage.
Being allowed the opportunity to touch both the farm and the kitchen was a potent mix.
Before Eros had adopted Penny and Dan, their lives was a miserable one. It was lived out on the streets and in the wild.
Fortunately, the wild and the streets taught certain lessons one could never get from anyother place.
Such was it's harsh reality.
It was not long that Penny found what she was looking for in the farm.
An herb that was in fact a weed.
It's adaptive features allowed it to be stubborn and grow nealy everywhere.
Once she found it, the next step was to apply it's effects.I think you should take a look at
This part was not so easy but not hard either.
After all, she had set a routine. This was a routine that the eyes following her had gotten used to and bored over.
With this, it was not too hard to trick them.
He grinded the weed she had found in the farms, and then she exchanged it with a most similar looking ingredient in the kitchen.
The Chef, unaware of this used it in the making of als for the entire manor.
It was for dinner.
Even the guards ate from the kitchen.
Penny waited patiently till everyone fell into a deep slumber.
This was the opportunity that she was waiting for, and she took absolute advantage of it.
She rushed head first for supplies she had long been preparing in the hopes that the plan would be a success.
She had really panned well for this.
After taking the supplies, she went for the main gate.
The keys were rather easy to take from the guards once they were all asleep.
Of course, as she executed this plan, she had the thoughts of entering into the Baron's room and murdering him in his sleep.
However, the mont this thought blood in her head, she chased it out, nearly imdiately.
It would be extrely foolish of her to do such a thing and respect that the consequences were going to be small.
After all, this was taking the life of a title noble of the Almace Kingdom.
Such a cri, even the royal family would take personal.
Besides, they was also the possibility that the Baron had not fallen asleep.
After all, he was a strong cultivator.
It was possible for him to expel the poison out of his body.
Penny was not going to risk her well planned escape for a stupid suicide attempt.
Her only goal was to return back to her ho.
Her Grandfather was able to send the heads of the Baron Bolos's guards.
She had been a noble long enough to understand what this ant.
Also knowing her grandfather to have always been a coward, it was one of two things.
It was either he had found a incredible treasure that had sufficient might, or he now had incredible backing.
Either ways, sending a treasure chest of heads and the money owed was an indirect threat.
She was sure that of she made it to her lands, all would be well.
The only mistake in the entire plan was locomotion.
Unfortunately, she had a lot of skilks bit riding a soum beast was not one of them.
For so reason she did not understand, every ti she had ever tried to ride one, she had always been thrown off.
It was as if all soul beasts did not want her on them.
She had to do this on her feet.
She ran with the bag for supplies on her back through the farm and out the Estate Area.
It had taken her several hours and it was almost morning. But she could finally see an opportunity to get on a ride that could very well take her through the border and into the Frostbite Estate.
Just When she was filled with Elation, two people appeared before her.
