Chapter 394: The attack

The attack had come abruptly. 

Prince Wilder had been bathing in the stream down the woods, with Richard standing guard far away, when he felt that they were being ambushed. At almost the same time, arrows came flying at him. Thankfully, Richard had already sensed it and was able to swiftly hit them off with his sword. However, the men all came out of their hiding spots, dressed in all black, with their faces covered from their noses down and also wearing short straw hats to properly hide their identities.

They came with their swords, and from their swift movements and aggressive behaviours, it was obvious they only wanted to do one thing— kill. 

Meanwhile, Wilder was carefully getting dressed, ignoring whatever was happening. He took his time to also wear his shoes and tie his hair.
