Bab 212: Back To Alvareen (2)

Henry heard Kayla's voice and words clearer than he'd heard anyone else who had spoken outside. He also recognized her voice; The only one to escape their interception of the Caravan and the subsequent death of the Mercenaries. 

Knowing now what trouble her escape had caused, he sorely wished he had managed to kill her. That said, when he clenched a fist, it was not in anger but in preparation. He was all too ready to pull out any of his guns and fight if it proved inevitable. 

Almost like she had heard his fist clench, Eloise looked to the side at him and his hand. 

"Relax," she told him quietly.

"I'm relaxed," Henry said immediately. 

"Be calm," Eloise continued and she patted the back of his fist. 

"I am calm," Henry said and he wasn't lying. He was calm. 

Meanwhile, outside the carriage, the man leading the host of Mercenaries glanced at Kayla,

"Why?" He asked.
