Irion spurred the horse as fast as he could, he didn't want any of Grand Duchess' guard or shadow guards to catch them. They needed to escape Dionde City as soon as possible.
He could detect that the carriage was being followed by a few shadow guards, but they didn't dare to incapacitate the horse or the carriage because it might hurt Young Lord Aster inside and it would also alert the city folks.
'They will definitely attack me when we are out of the city.' Jain predicted.
Thus, after the carriage left Dionde City, Irion unsheathed his sword in his left hand while his right hand held the horse strap. After they were far from Dionde City and entered the empty road, bolts of arrows directed towards him and the horse.
Clank! Clank!
