Chapter 40 - Assassinations attempt (I) (1/2)

The sun poured out its brilliant sunlight into the horizon like a pot of molten lava.

On a grassy area within the Dark Forest, there were a hundred soldiers riding their horses as fast as lightning as they were traveling deep within the forest. They were protecting a large and luxurious carriage.

Though the surrounding area was empty, the soldiers looked very alert. Their swords and scimitars were unsheathed. they were like tigers, ready to pounce and react on any danger.

Within the carriage,

” Master if we continue traveling at this pace, we will arrive in the Mulan kingdom in just two days.” Said a beautiful woman with a voice filled with care and her eyes filled with love and tenderness as she was looking at the young man laying down on her laps.

” Hmm.” The young man only nodded as he dozed off.

The woman was playing with the young man's hair, gently caressing it with such tenderness that one might think that the young man was like her precious thing in the world.

These two people were none other than Shad and Monalisa of course. After Shad had left the imperial capital, Monalisa had waited for him outside the city gate as she wanted to accompany him on his journey.

Despite Shad's refusal, She Insisted and convinced Shad that she would be more helpful to him due to her void magic in the Mulan Kingdom than waiting in the imperial capital. It did not take him long before he agreed with her, Indeed, She would be quite helpful to him.

One of the reasons that he did want her to accompany him was because he did not want their relations to be public, but now, he was a full-fledged adult and can have as many servants or maids as he wants.

Currently, it has been more than five hours that they've left the imperial capital, the luxurious carriage ran from the capital like the wind despite its enormous size. The horses were from an excellent lineage, so they were able to go through the hard mountains trails without much difficulty.

Not only that, the carriage provided to Shad by his Imperial father had a lightweight magic spell on its body, which made it much easier for the horses to pull it as though it was nothing.

After they've traveled the whole day without any incident and the sky had darkened, Shad had decided to make camp and rest within the heart of the forest with his soldiers and the four imperial kights.

Inside the most luxurious.

”Master, do you want me to give you a message.” Monalisa got behind Shad without waiting for his approval.

Then, she started to massage Shad's shoulders. Shad was really tired after a long day of travel so he was engrossed at the moment as she let Monalisa working her magic.
