Chapter 26: Aleshias Wariness and Lawrend Takes A Pet (1/2)

The time has come for Aleshia and Lawrend to leave together. They were in front of the Horiel mansion. Ella was holding onto Albert's hand as Aleshia rode in front to drive the carriage and Lawrend rode inside.

”Ella, remember what I said.”

Aleshia bid her farewell to Ella while Lawrend nodded his head at Albert. There were no guards with them. Which was something that made Albert very concerned.

”Yes, Big Sister. Come back safe…”

Ella sniffled as she also bid her farewell to her big sister. It will be a short parting that would surely change their life after they return. Who knows what development will happen after Lawrend and Aleshia spend a long time on a journey alone together?

Albert secretly glanced at a guard watching over them. The guard responded with a nod of his head before he ran off and disappeared.

”Hiiyaah!”

Aleshia flicked on the reins on the two horses and the carriage started to move forward. Soon, they were gone from Ella's point of view.

Lawrend was sitting inside the carriage as his nervousness slowly mounted upwards. This was his first time spending alone with a girl, and it was even a maid of his. His hopes were great for this journey.

While Lawrend was nervously thinking of the future, Aleshia was glancing inside the carriage from time to time. She was very wary of Lawrend. He always had plans for something inside his head. There was no guarantee that he doesn't have any sinister plan for this journey.

Aleshia drove the carriage with great familiarity. This was one of the things that were taught to her by the assassin organization. It is a very helpful skill if you want to pretend to be a coachman.

After passing through the merchant district, the carriage arrived at the exit of the city of Lanika. There were city guards in front looking inside the carriages before letting them pass.

Aleshia and Lawrend waited for their turn.

A few minutes later, it was their turn and a city guard glanced at Aleshia with confusion on his face before letting them pass without inspecting them.

Aleshia and Lawrend are now officially out of the city of Lanika. They were at the south gate of the city. Their destination is just down south.

Currently, they were traversing through the Vanhan Plains. It was a huge expanse of plains. There are many different types of monsters roaming around the area. The most notable of which are the slimes.

Slimes come in different colors and shapes. Bigger slimes are stronger than smaller slimes. Their colors are influenced by the element that they use.

For example, a fire element slime would be colored red, and a water element slime would be blue in color. Although slimes are hard to kill for beginners, they are very easy to kill if you know their weaknesses.

Lawrend was browsing through a book about magic. Currently, there is a small pile of books with him on this journey.

The carriage stopped just as they got farther from the city. Lawrend peeked outside the window and saw a mass of colorful blobs bouncing around. Many of them are concentrated in the front, blocking the way for the carriage.

”Young Master, there are slimes blocking our way.”

Aleshia informed him after seeing him glance from inside. Aleshia was already accustomed to calling Lawrend 'Young Master' after serving him these past few days.
