Chapter 233: Troubled Waters

"We need to take a break and let the horses rest, father. They are workhorses and we have travelled almost non stop for two days now. They might die even before we get to the village you spoke of." Jorelle patted his horse and moved towards the side of the road.

"I understand. Let's take a break then." He could only sigh as his son had already dismounted on the side.
