(Brendan POV)
*A few hours ago*
This is quite embarrassing.
Liehui and I were just walking along the road when a group of riders came from behind us.
Both Liehui and I thought they were just travellers who were also headed towards the capital so we simply stepped towards the side of the road to let them pass.
Who knew one of them actually reached out and grabbed me by the collar when he rode past, dragging me along with the group.
Liehui immediately tried to grab me back from them but the rider behind her tried to attack her with a halberd.
She managed to grab on to the weapon and used it as a lever to throw him off the horse, but doing that allowed the rest of the riders to run off with me.
