Nora's "running away from home" story is simpler compared to Eleanor's.
After all, she had money.
After leaving the Italian peninsula, she made a call home, saying she was going to "travel the world" starting with a trip to the East Solomon Empire.
Her family didn't try to stop her; instead, they quickly wired her money—not only for daily expenses but also to hire an elite guard squad for her protection.
That girl was pretty fearless, not hiring even one guard, taking a cruise around the Sirius Peninsula, and starting to eat, drink, and be merry in Constantinople, the imperial capital of East Solomon. Everyone knows the rest of the story.
If Aske hadn't been there, like in the game in my previous life, she would likely have caught wind of trouble before the fall of Constantinople and fled back home early.
