North of Saarland, city of Noferden.
Scheller's carriage stopped in the outskirts, the driver tucked the whip into his waist, looking pitiful, but his tone was rather firm:
"Sir, we agreed at the beginning, you hired my carriage for half a month. You see, we've been away from Vienna for seventeen days..."
Scheller sold his family's carriage to raise money, so he could only hire a carriage to France this time.
If they went from Strasbourg, half a month would have been enough. But because they detoured from Rhineland and the driver got lost, they barely reached the French border at this point.
Oh, now this can be considered the interior of France, the Rhine River is the border.
Scheller sighed helplessly: "I'll pay you 3 florins more, continue to take us to Reims."
The driver's eyes rolled and he shook his head: "You know, Mr. Mezger has reserved my carriage."
"Oh, please be kind."
"5 florins. I have to pay Mr. Mezger a penalty fee."
