Chapter 225: Arrival in Medeus
The journey to Medeus became more exhausting than it should be due to the constant attacks from assassins. They were truly trying to get on Ferdinand’s nerves. He wanted to join the fight himself due to irritation but he didn’t dare to leave Arabella alone.
Arabella and Ferdinand didn’t get the chance to talk about anything aside from the reports coming from Alwin and the knights.
During the nights, they were not in the mood to be intimate either since Arabella was tired from the carriage ride and Ferdinand was on alert expecting more assassins to attack.
Their supposedly short journey to Medeus felt longer due to this, but after a few days, they finally arrived unscathed.
Arabella’s carriage which had been targeted all the time did not even earn a single scratch.
Alwin and Riley also ensured not a single scratch was present among the knights or their weapons and armor. They made it seem as if the journey was smooth sailing the whole time.
Once they arrived at the front gates of Medeus, their carriages had to be inspected, so Ferdinand had to go on his own. Arabella was left in her carriage and Aletha was made to ride with her to make it seems as if they were the ones who rode the carriage together.
Meanwhile, Alwin and Riley disguised themselves as among the knights who rode alongside Arabella and Ferdinand’s carriages.
Ferdinand assigned Alwin to Arabella since he was more powerful than Riley and was more likely able to protect her no matter what attack came.
