Chapter 290

• Their scent led him to the middle of town. The gloomy sky promised rain and made his shadow follow him across the streets. His guards tried to hide their attire with their own cloaks and walked the streets as if they were one of them—Lucas was only glad that the town was busy otherwise he knew that they would have been caught with how hard they tried.
• Their scent stopped at a bar. Lucas walked by the window and saw them in causal clothes laughing with members of the village as if they were part of the crowd. He didn't know why that bothered him so much, he pulled open the door and slipped inside the busy space.
• Drunken people stumbled around the bar and bumped into him, he didn't take his eyes off them for a moment. The music was too loud to hear what they were saying until he got close enough to touch.
