*** The journey to Luxizar city did not take all day, only five hours travel to arrive by horse-drawn carriage. It was different if you had to walk, which might take 10-12 hours. Not only was Arryn on the horse-drawn carriage but several passengers from Ravengarden were also seen on the journey. There were ten of them in total, seven men and three women. They were seen talking to each other, and Arryn guessed that the ten people knew each other. As a result, Arryn chose to stay quiet while waiting for the journey to finish, accompanied by Ivy, who was perched on his right shoulder. "I don't know if Luxizar also suffers from chaos like Horus." "I hope not. Those rebels are so annoying. They can't wait." Arryn certainly listened to the stories of the ten people. They were talking about something related to the rebellion. He opened his eyes and tried to understand the meaning of their words. "The royal soldiers are sieging Horus. Poor city. I'm sure the rebels will be finished ther
"Arryn Vaughan? Isn't that the name of the Ravengarden hero?" asked the young woman, looking at Arryn with an expression of disbelief. Not only she knew who Arryn was, but the entire town knew. They wondered why Arryn was in this carriage and the young man's true purpose. "Why are you in this carriage?" asked one of the male passengers. "Because my destination is the city of Horus," Arryn replied briefly, walking away from them towards the robbers who had been bound together and placed under a large tree. "Are you going to fight those rebels?" asked the young woman, Arryn remained silent without answering. The young man turned his body around, looking at the carriage passengers who were still gathered at the carriage door. The faces they showed were full of hope, but there was also fear in their eyes. The unfinished war had already put fear in the Athanor citizens' hearts, considering they had not fought a war for hundreds of years. Coupled with the rebellion by people of the sam
Arryn walked back up the hill to the road where the robbers were shackled. There was a short distance between the village and the road, so he arrived just as the police took the robbers to the police carriage. "So, you beat them?" asked one of the policemen. Arryn nodded while looking at the policeman. "Thank you very much for your help. They are a gang of robbers that we have been looking for a long time," replied the policeman. Hearing that Arryn had helped the police to catch the robbers made his heart happy. He did not expect that the ten robbers were wanted criminals by the Ravengarden police. "You cannot arrest us. We have wives and children to feed!" shouted one of the robbers, trying to plead with the police to release them. "I have no business with them. It's your fault for committing the crime," replied the policeman close to the robber. "What he said is true," Arryn said, shifting his body to look back at the east of the forest. "There is a small village in the forest
"Take that white horse," said the police captain, pointing to a horse that was none other than his own. Arryn noticed the shape of the horse; it looked big and strong. His right hand gently stroked the horse's head while praising the white horse. He was sure that the police captain was taking good care of this white horse like he was caring for his child. "Where did you get such a good horse?" asked Arryn, curious. "Someone gave it to me right when his stable caught fire and left only one white horse," replied the police captain, stroking the horse's head gently, immediately met with a growling sound from the animal. "And I was also planning to give it to you," the man continued, turning to Arryn. "Consider it my thanks for helping the police catch those criminals," said the police captain. Arryn was silent. It could be said that his journey to Luxizar City could be travelled quickly if he rode this horse. After all, the police captain didn't seem to mind giving his horse to Arry
Arryn arrived in front of a three-floor inn, as Jill had said, looking luxurious and crowded with visitors. Not a few of them came to the place wearing more expensive clothes than what Arryn knew.The young man tied his horse to a pole near the inn's entrance. Jill seemed to be waiting while leaning her back against the inn's door."The innkeeper is one of my friends. I'm sure he can give you the same price as me," Jill replied, inviting Arryn to enter and register himself at the reception desk."Welcome to our inn. May I help you?" asked one of the receptionists, smiling as her palms seemed to join together in welcoming the two of them."I'd like to stay here for the night," Arryn replied."Staying for one night, huh? You can fill out this form," the receptionist asked, taking out a paper and handing it to Arryn.The young man immediately filled out the form with his right hand, unlike Jill, who seemed to be having a friendly chat with the receptionist lady in front of Arryn. Even th
*** Three hours later. Arryn opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the ceiling of his room. Not only what appeared before him but also what he felt as well. He clearly saw that his pajama clothes were already on his body. Arryn was on his back without a blanket. His right hand tried unbuttoning his pajamas and saw that his abdomen and chest were already wrapped in bandages. "What exactly happened?" asked Arryn, speaking to himself. The door to Arryn's room opened, and Ivy arrived with both hands carrying a bag of snacks. The woman turned her head to the left and smiled broadly when she saw Arryn was awake. "Oh, you're awake," Ivy greeted. "Did I faint?" asked Arryn. Ivy placed the food and drinks she had bought on the wooden table. She stepped closer to Arryn and sat on the chair on the left side of Arryn's bed. "Yes. You've been unconscious for about three hours," Ivy replied, opening the cold drink she had bought for Arryn to drink. "Then this bandage, did you put
Arryn turned to Ivy, who was behind his back. The young man nodded his head to let him talk in private with the Commander of the city guard. Not only Arryn but the three soldiers who were ordered to visit Arryn also left immediately to let their Commander talk to Arryn. They went together, leaving Arryn and the man in military uniform alone. The two sat on the sofa, facing each other with two glasses in front of them on the wooden table. The door to the room was closed tightly, but the windows of the room remained open to letting in the refreshing morning air. "Before we talk further about the city defense plan, it would be nice to introduce myself first," said the man commanding the city guard. "My name is Albert. I am the Commander of the Luxizar City Guard Force," he explained, saying his name in front of Arryn. "Three hours ago, we received news that the rebels have taken over the eastern gate in the city of Horus, some of the city soldiers guarding that place have also been d
***Evening.Arryn continued to stir the warm chicken soup the innkeeper had brought him. Arryn's needs at the inn were under the responsibility of the city's government, so the young man did not spend a penny on this meal.He sat on the sofa with the soup bowl placed on the wooden table. Right before the table was Ivy, who had been preparing for a reconnaissance mission; Arryn had asked her to do it tonight."Are you sure you won't eat before you go? You're going to have a difficult and tiring reconnaissance there," Arryn replied, looking quietly at Ivy with his face completely uncovered by the white mask."I'm still full," Ivy said.That was good if the meal had managed to stave off her hunger. However, no matter what, after she finished her reconnaissance, Arryn had to provide food for her.The young man continued to eat the warm soup that was provided for him; the soup was savoury and quite spicy. Those flavours did not destroy the overall taste of the food; even Arryn felt like a
