Chapter 16 to 19:
Vita went to the Dakota (which is where Sorrotore lives) to see if he was home and not at her Grandfather’s house/castle where they are going.

There was an old man who owned some horses, she was going to pay him to take them to the castle, but she got picked pocked at the train station, so they had to think of another idea to get them to the castle and walking would take too long.
