Chapter 215 - 214. Nobles Of Denril (1)
For the next few days, we had been travelling from village to village until we were crossing through the woods. I was tired from the whole day’s work so, I had dozed off in the back while Lyall was riding the carriage.
It was growing close to evening while we were yet to reach the next town.
"Master, it seems like we would have to make a stop in the forest somewhere," Lyall spoke up and I hummed back.
"All right."
He prepared a bonfire and laid out the sheets on the ground for me to sleep on. Soon the sun had set and the darkness was spreading across the skies like the dark mist.
Lyall hunted a couple of rabbits and we had dinner before I lay on my makeshift bed and Lyall sat resting his back against the tree close by to keep an eye on the surroundings. Despite, keeping my eyes closed my ears were still able to keep track of every sound that was happening around us.
A couple of hours later, I heard Lyall’s breathing slow down, it became deep and rhythmic making me sigh as I realised that he had fallen asleep. He was working harder these days, while I was healing people he had been on alert keeping me safe and travelling all the time while I took occasional naps.
I was glad that he could fall asleep quite well after having such exhausting days. I waited for my sleep to come before I smelled something from a couple of feet away. I sat up and looked once at Lyall who was still asleep.
The bonfire had gone out dousing us in the darkness of the night and I heard the sound of the twigs snapping a couple of feet away. I looked again at Lyall who stayed asleep before I moved.
I activated my Mana Eyes and spotted five of the men who were approaching us. I swiftly made my way towards them without letting them realise that I was coming for them.
"We only need to grab that girl and return."
