Now. Events you cannot wait for are set to arrive at once. Visiting the Eisleben tribe, in my understanding, was like going on a school trip. I wanted to know what the scenery of the Mainz Kingdom was like on the way to the Eisleben tribe, and seeing what towns and people there were, and what they ate, was a pleasure too.
For me, leaving the royal capital itself was a major event, but I did not need to prepare anything (Lily did all the packing), and it was an easy trip of only riding in a carriage. And I was being taken, so all the cost came from the Mainz Kingdom side, and the embassy's purse did not hurt. Well. Among Her Majesty's many maids and guards and porters, Lily and I would not be a great cost, so I had no need to care.
