Amara's pov.
The extent to which Orian loved seclusion became clear when I realized that there were no guards around the castle or other household staff that could have stopped my escape and I had to travel till the towers of the castle were no more within my sight to reach the next point of civilization.
I lifted myself from the bushes still keeping my eyes on where I presumed to be their town market or more like the city market.
I think it was too big to be a city from the expanse of occupied land I could see from where I stood on the hills. I could see the market and after that, I could see houses that stretched far away beyond where my eyes could reach.
I could smell vampires and demons. And from my classes on other creatures and what they smelt like, it didn't take me long to know
