Tell her you're heading to Lord Richard's Manor

Pausing for a moment, you decide to trust her... she seems like a scared girl who was used as a pawn in Enzo's game. You step closer to her and say, "I am heading to my brother in law's. He has a standing army and he is family so he should still be loyal. With his army, I will be able to save my sister, and maybe bring some more nobles to my cause. But without a fast horse or a carriage to hide me... I believe the main road is far to risky for me to travel on. "

She looks up at you, the confidence in your eyes and in your tone of voice reassures her "Oh... well I do know of a back way to those parts, but it will add a day to our travel.... "

"Who said anything about it being 'our' trip..." You reply, testing her.

Rachael steps closer to you, kneeling before you as she hugs your thighs. "Please John... don't leave me here. That man will kill me with you getting away..." Looking up at you tearfully she continues, "I promise... I won't slow you down."

"Fine... but we should be leaving... post haste."

With that, you both exit the farmhouse and she leads you down the little-known path.

Word of your fathers **** and Uncle's betrayal has yet to reach this path so the few villager that live along the way would still view you as their prince and provide you with aid and supplies. However, the families lost most of their able bodied men in the war so no one is able to join you on your journey.

It is a long journey... do you head straight to Lord Richard's or stop along the way?
