Chapter 293: Plans for war (1)
"This is one of the worst rides I have ever been on. How long have we been travelling for?" Logan asked, looking up to the sky at the sun. The weather was hellbent on killing him. "I miss the high winds and rain at home."
"Stop complaining," Christian said, wishing Logan would shut up. It was bad enough he had to deal with the heat which was worse thanks to his armour, but now he had to listen to Logan complaining. "Take off your helmet, you idiot."
"You were complaining not long ago, Christian. What was it? That we need to set up camp or you’ll pass out?" Logan said, turning around to look at Christian. "Before that, it was complaining about having to pee as if you can’t stop to go to the nearest tree and then catch up to us? Are you afraid the men will get a glimpse of how small you are?"
"This is a conversation you do not want to have with me, Logan. I’ve been unfortunate to see you naked and now why women don’t stay with you after one night," Christian retorted. He was not afraid to whip it out, but Logan should be.
"We are close to where we planned to stop to give the horses a break. Can’t the two of you shut up until we reach there?" Micheal asked and then took a bite of an apple he stole from the supplies. "You’re like children. How is it that the two of you rank so high? Besides, you two don’t have anything to boast about."
"How about you stop eating all the damn food before we all get the chance to stop and eat? He’s eaten his share of food, Rafael."
Rafael tried his best to ignore all of them. This was a small reminder of why he wasn’t ready for children since his first instinct was to turn around and hit all three of them.
This journey was nothing compared to how much they had travelled before. He advised them to take off their helmets so they could stay cool under the sun. The days were hot because of the armour they wore while the nights were cold. Still, he found it better than travelling during the coming winter.
If they stuck to setting up camp at night and riding all day, they would make it to the border in a day’s time. They had been travelling for around a day and a half now, but there was still more than a day’s ride to reach the border. Had they gone straight to the border from the manor, they would have been much closer.
