Reimian Empire

When Livia learned that two more people would be joining them in the sewers, she became a little worried. It wouldn't be good if these people turned out to be those who were searching for her. However, when she recognized them as members of the expedition to the south, she felt relieved. The girl was glad that, despite the failure, these two had survived. She hadn't paid much attention to the Tantharian, but she remembered the elf who had argued with an aristocrat about who would be the leader of the group. That meant they shouldn't be looking for her.
The elven girl didn't quite understand Livia's greeting and, seeing Alaria's reaction (that was the new acquaintance's name), she preferred to remain silent. On the one hand, she felt ashamed that she hadn't stood up for her friend, and on the other hand, she absolutely didn't want to quarrel with the new companions.
So, the travelers entered the sewers, and their task began.
