CH 14

After leaving the theater, we ordered the most expensive course at the restaurant we had reserved.

As something hit the carriage window, Ryan, who had been holding onto the curtains, quickly stepped back from the window. But the problem wasn’t the window. Startled by the attack, the horse lost control and ran wildly. Ryan, who had let go of the only support, the curtains, fell off the chair and could only roll around. Instinctively, Ryan curled up to protect himself and his head.

“Eugh….”

Although it was terrifying, Ryan didn’t make any sound except for a small groan. Someone was pounding on the carriage door.

It sounded like a signal to open the door, but Ryan knew that there was no time to open it and that they would die if they did. However, the persistent pursuer eventually smashed the carriage door and forced it open.

“Your Highness!”

Ryan, who had been lying face down, raised his head slightly at the unfamiliar low and sharp voice. A short blonde woman who had tenaciously followed the carriage reached out to Ryan.

“Quick, this way!”

A hand with a hard gauntlet was extended. Not realizing that the carriage was about to collide, Ryan looked at her dazedly and did not understand the meaning of her outstretched hand.

“Your Highness!”

The knight following behind Roxana called out desperately, saying that if she didn’t get out now, they would collide together.

Roxana could not give up on Ryan, who was still frozen. She let go of the reins, stretched out her arms towards Ryan and shouted.

“Come here, please!”

Ryan, who belatedly regained consciousness, jumped into Roxana’s arms. Roxana, who barely rescued Ryan, held the child in one hand, took the reins again, and calmed the horse.

As the conversation calmed down a bit, Roxanna got off her horse.

“Master! What if something happens to you if you jump into such a dangerous place?”

“Are you telling me to watch something dangerous, Prince?”

“I said I’m going. Me! Don’t you know that if something happens to you because of this, it could harm the relationship between the three families?”

“You should think about your position, Master!” “That’s why I told you to do it. As the host of Lemetio, who is no one else, I protected the prince with my life. I can’t let the empire catch us.”

“……” The knight who couldn’t say harsh words in front of the child felt frustrated and pounded his chest.

Both of them were safe without any major injuries, so they were able to overlook the fact that the prince’s agent was attacked in the empire’s territory, even near the capital.
