Bab 29: A Talented Knight

Aideen slowly opened her eyes and took a few moments to focus.

'I can't believe I fell asleep while riding a coach...'

The rhythmic rocking of the carriage along with the distant howling of the wind created a soothing lullaby that managed to lull the princess to sleep–something she could never do before because she was always anxious about every single trip she had to take. 

This time, however, she was at ease. She was certain of her destination as well as the fact that no matter what, she will not be alone and will always be protected. 

"Did you sleep well, Your Highness? You woke up just in time, we are arriving at the Capital."

Sir Stanis's voice and the mention of the Capital finally helped Aideen to wake up completely. 

She moved closer to the carriage door and slid the window glass sideways, allowing the cold autumn air to fill the warmth inside the coach.
