Chương 144: Who sent you?

As a marriage custom agreed by both empires, Aries would have to journey without taking off her veil publicly and would always, and at all times, be left alone. Unless she needed the assistance of her lady servant. No one could join her in the carriage while the envoy from the Maganti Empire and the soldiers of the Haimirich Empire protect her carriage with their lives. 

Anything could happen on the way, so the security was tight only escorted by the elite knights of both empires. 

"He really didn't send me off," Aries whispered, sliding her finger in the curtain to peek. "The night is about to fall."

She slowly retrieved her hand upon seeing that they would enter a town to rest for the night. A shallow breath slipped past her lips, leaning back, tilting her head back, eyes closed. Her heavy dress was the least of her concerns.
