Chapter 299: Hunter Guild
The ride towards the hunter guild was quiet, the silence only broken by the occasional rattle of the carriage wheel or the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground outside.
Sinclair had his gaze fixated on the road outside the window, his eyes focused on the path that they passed by.
Coco, on the other hand, alternated between looking outside the window and stealing glances at Sinclair, the information she received just a moment ago still stuck in her mind.
I still can’t believe I’m friends with important people like the village chief and the mercenary king.. Both who also happen to be hybrids.. Coco thought, her eyes wandering back to the carriage window and looking out, chewing on the dead skin of her lower lip.
The carriage continued to move forward and then, after a while, it slowly rattled to a halt, the sound of the horses nickering and the wheels grinding against the ground announcing their arrival.
The carriage rocked for a moment, the momentum dying down as it came to a complete stop, and Sinclair could only stare out of the window for a moment, his gaze watchful and cautious.
Then, he turned his attention to Coco and spoke, his voice firm, but soft and gentle.
"Please stand behind me. Don’t let the guild master speak down on you." The hybrid said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
The request was clear and deep down, he was hoping that she would follow it.
Coco let out a sigh, her head nodding in reluctant agreement because no matter what she does, she is still a nobody in this world.
