Chapter 7: He discovered her poison
The night was quiet except for the noise of galloping horses and the wheels rolling against the rubbles on the crude road. The ride was bumpy and Abrielle could not even get a second of sleep.
God, she wished for this ride to be over soon; she had no idea where they were going. This night seemed like it was going on forever. Abrielle could see the image of Cedric quietly riding by the side of her carriage through the window. She was starting to think riding on a horse was better than this Carriage.
Finally, the horse came to a stop, and Abrielle fell from her seat due to the sudden stop. The air was thick with sea salt, and it was freezing like hell. It made Abrielle wonder if they were close to the seaside.
The door was pulled open drawing Abrielle's attention to the door. The cool sea breeze blew inside the carriage from the open door accompanied by the sound of water crashing against rocks at the water banks.
"Your Highness, please, we need to board the ship." A lady dressed in a maid outfit informed her. She was from Cedric's entourage because Abrielle was sure this was the first time she was seeing her.
"We are boarding a ship." She was dumbfounded and in shock they were really at the seaside. "Yes, Your Highness, the journey is faster by sea than on land." She said as she gave Abrielle a hand to get off the ground and helped her settle on a seat in the carriage
The maid helped Abrielle put on a pair of white boots. Her eyes glanced at the marks around Abrielle's neck but she didn't have any reaction. She was already used to Cedric's Violent nature.
A white muffler, which seemed to be made from the softest wool Abrielle had felt before, was wrapped around her exposed shoulders and neck, and then Abrielle wore a dark fur coat.
"Unfortunately, there was no white fur coat for the princess, so we have to use this black one, but I assure you it is of the best material." The maid apologized and Abrielle could confirm it was indeed of premium quality.
