When Jasmine got on the carriage and did not see the Black Dragon run out to see her off, she thought the little guy was sulking and hiding in some corner because he couldn't go with her. In her heart, she couldn't help but feel both helpless and amused, and could only instruct the old Butler not to forget to feed the Black Dragon his gold coin snacks on time every day.
To make up for this absence, Jasmine also generously added one extra gold coin per day for the Black Dragon.
Because it was still night, with only faint starlight shining in the sky, the night shrouded everything in a thick, solid black. Causing such a huge commotion, the people in the entire castle had long been awakened. Everyone lit torches, the flickering firelight clearly illuminating worried faces as they saw Jasmine's group off all the way outside the city walls. Further away was the vast, boundless wilderness, from which the occasional roaring of wild beasts echoed from afar, sounding chilling.
