The Inquisition paid the English garrison a ransom to get to Hugo & Amicia. Luckily, Amicia and the boy managed to escape the camp with the unexpected help of the two young raiders they met earlier: Melie and her brother Arthur. Arthur stayed behind to create a diversion.

After escaping to the forest, Amicia asked Melie where they were going and Melie replied that they needs to hide right and and that she knows a place. When Amicia asked about Lucas, Melie replied that he's waiting for them and the siblings were happy to know that they were going to see Lucas again.

We were in the right track and had to keep moving as we were not safe yet as per Melie was describing and she started running first asking us to follow her in the woods and we did.

Seeing a windmill there which they'd need to cross, Hugo was surprised so Melie asked Amicia if he's always like that and Amicia replied that the kid didn't see a lot of the outside world.

The kid was too surprised that he ran to the door but it was locked so Melie had to help unlocking the door and I see Melie is quite good at unlocking things and we might need this skill in the long run.

Now we reached close to the big wheel of the mil that we had to stop somehow to get to the other side and when I tried to work on a switch, it didn't work which says I need to try something else.

Then after pushing that wheel, I slowed the big wheel a little after slowing down the current but it was not enough to make someone go to the other side.

I needed Hugo to help me with the switch now which stopped the big wheel and I asked Melie to go to the other side and help me with the wheel on that side.

Then I sent Hugo to the other side when Melie was helping me to hold the big wheel off and then both of them helped me getting on the other side. They did fantastic in team work.

We found a workbench on the other side when we were leaving the windmill area and I could only upgrade my pouch with the resources I had with me.

We kept moving so we don't get caught to anyone and I was trying to help them when Melie was asking if I was trying to impress her or what. The girl is all rude, it seems. We reached an abandoned village in the meantime where I found some resources and Hugo found a flower to put on his sister.

Then suddenly Hugo started being sick. The kid was saying that it seemed like something was growing inside him and his legs were shaking. So, I had to carry her on my back and walk to the hidden place where Melie was taking us.

It looked like the hidden place was a basement of a house and it was probably the place where Melie and Arthur used to rest and the other siblings are now there as well.

After getting there, Melie was talking about some payment that Lucas promised her. It looked like Lucas told them lies about Amicia being rich and would pay her for this save but now when Amicia was saying she didn't have anything, Melie looked upset and said they'd talk about it when Arthur returns.
