I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Leaving the palace is very simple. As a place where the most important leader of the empire lives, there must be some secret passages that only the royal family members know.

Alicia was not blind since she was a child. When she was a child, she would often run outside through the secret passages in the palace and play hide-and-seek games with the maids.

Fortunately, the pawnshop owner got up early and didn't have to wait in the cold wind. The little old lady couldn't stand such trouble.

As expected, the brooch was pawned for a lot of money. There were quite a few pawnshops in the imperial capital that knew the goods. If it were in a rural area, such a large ruby ​​would probably be easily considered a fake.

Although she can't see it, as a royal, she still has a dedicated stylist.

Because this brooch didn't look good to wear, it had been permanently sealed in a drawer by her stylist for several years. No one had seen it, so there shouldn't be any problems.

After selling the brooch, Alicia bought some bread and water and wrapped them together in a gray package. She was lucky and didn't encounter any gangsters and robbers on the road. She couldn't scare those people away now.

Now that she has money, anything can be done easily. She chartered a carriage and asked them to take her to Romil Town.

The jurisdiction of the Marquis of Os is actually not far from the imperial capital. It can be reached by horse carriage in eight hours, which is about one hundred kilometers.

Yes, the Imperial Capital has a very high dimension. It is actually only over a hundred kilometers away from the icy snowfield. Winter is very cold, but the geographical location of the Imperial Capital was not chosen blindly.

It is close to the sea, but not too close. It is near the bay area, where there is the largest ice-free port in the empire. There are two continuous mountain ranges in the northeast, which form a natural barrier to resist the waves coming from the east. of enemies.

There is a plain behind it, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has convenient sea and land transportation. The best thing is that in the past few hundred years, there have been basically no major natural disasters. Except for cold spots, it is an almost perfect capital.

In fact, there is a place in the south that is not bad, that is, there is an old enemy of the Britannia Empire in the south. It is too close to the enemy and is too dangerous.

Although the town is not big, it is very beautiful. The town of Romir is located at the only gap between the two mountains. In other words, if there is an army from the east attacking Britannia, this is the front line. Therefore, the Marquis of Oss' Identity is important.

She didn't stay in the town for long. She walked through the market, crossed the small bridge, and came to the country road. During this period, she asked about the wizard on the road. They almost unanimously told Alicia that that The man is on the snowfield in the north.

The sun is very comfortable today. The warm sunshine of spring is gradually reviving the earth. The grass under the feet is lush and growing very well. Alicia found that although she has become a little old woman, her eyesight is still good and she can still enjoy the hawthorns. The sight and smell of flowers.

She has not seen the colorful world for more than ten years after she lost her sight. For her, everything is new.

"That guy did a good thing." Alicia muttered, "Yeah, but I will definitely have to settle the accounts later."

When people get older, they like to talk to themselves.

However, the pain in her back gradually prevented her from enjoying the beautiful scenery.

"I'm going to need a cane," Alicia said.

She continued walking forward, trying to search among the bushes, hoping to find a branch that could be used as a walking stick, but suddenly, there was a sound in the hedge behind her.

First there were some creaking sounds, and then there was a heavy groaning sound.

Looks like a human being, Alicia thought.

She stretched out her bony hands and pried open the bushes. Behind the bushes was a hilly plain with many sheep grazing. It looked like this should be a pasture.

Not far away from her, an old man with white hair and beard fell to the ground and groaned. His shepherd's stick was thrown aside. He seemed to be the owner of these sheep.

She quickly stepped forward to help the old man up and let him sit on a small stone on one side.

"Want to drink water? Old gentleman." Alicia said.

The shepherd touched his painful back and waved his hand, "No, thank you for your kindness, old mother."

"Old mother?" Alicia said a little unhappy, "Aren't you an old guy too?"

The shepherd turned his head and looked Alicia up and down, "Oh, you misunderstood. Although I look very old, I am only over sixty years old this year."

Alicia was about to refute that she was only in her twenties, but suddenly she remembered what she looked like now.

Well, she looks to be in her late nineties now, and is really an "old mother" to him.

Alicia snorted twice and said no more.

After a pause, she asked again, "Why did you fall to the ground?"

"Hey, don't mention it. I hugged the lamb and it was hit by its mother. This beast protected the calf better than a human being." The shepherd said.

"What about your son? Why don't you let your son graze?" Alicia asked curiously.

The shepherd hammered his sore thigh and sighed, "He's dead. I had a serious illness a few years ago, and even after selling many sheep, I couldn't cure it."

Alicia was silent for a moment, and then sighed, "I may also end up alone."

The shepherd raised his head when he heard the sound and asked curiously, "Mom, the sun is setting, where are you going? Are you planning to rush to the mountain before dark?"

"It's fun to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, isn't it?" Alicia said half-jokingly.

"Are you serious?" the shepherd said in surprise, but then he said, "There is one of my shepherd's huts on the mountain. If you don't have time to come down, you can stay there."

As he spoke, he picked up a cane on the ground and handed it to Alicia.

"You look like you need this more than I do."

The cane is very well made and has a bird's head carved on it. It feels very comfortable in the hand, especially the height, as if it was specially made for her.

"Thank you, that helped a lot."

The shepherd smiled, picked up the shepherd's stick, and walked along the hedge to his flock.

Looking at the shepherd's leaving figure and looking at the cane in his hand, Alicia laughed at herself.

"The good thing about being old enough is that even an old man in his sixties has to respect me."

She began to continue up the mountain, and soon the bushes disappeared, revealing a bare ridge with heather plateau above, and then a steep slope covered with snarling yellow weeds.

Alicia continued to walk forward expressionlessly. After a while, her old legs began to hurt, and her back and knees also began to hurt.

She didn't have the energy to mutter, so she just kept walking out of breath, but she couldn't see the shepherd's hut the shepherd mentioned. When the sun set below the horizon, she collapsed on a stone, not knowing what to do next. Done
