章節 197: The ride home (2)

Annalise stared out the window of the moving carriage Rafael made her enter. In the morning, she had travelled with Edwin and all the other servants because of how distant Rafael was, and now he wanted her to ride with him. 

Annalise tapped her fingers on her cheek, bored by all the silence and the fact there was nothing interesting to see on the outside. "So, will there be a lot of new knights now?" She asked.

Rafael sat with his head resting back on the seat and his eyes closed to get a little rest before returning to the manor. "There will be a few. Most of the men who won took the money and declined the offer to join the knights. It is expected since the competition is seen as a way to earn extra money to care for your family. Not everyone wants to take part in war."
