The night was at its peak, warping the entire sky in darkness. Aside from the barking stray dogs, nothing could be heard but passing winds and the horses' heaves tapping on the ground.
Gradually, the carriage stopped in front of a small inn. The inn wasn't fancy-looking but still considered decent. Once the door was kicked open, the innkeeper exclaimed at the intruder.
" Ah! Lord Shainl, easy on the door! "
Like his usual mannerless self, Lennox walked into the inn as if he owned the place. The innkeeper was a muscular man in his forties, he sighed at his cracked door as he served liquor to the young man sitting on the counter.
Lennox frowned at Ajiad's blazing eyes. He purposely sat two chairs distance away from him, sipping on the honey milk the innkeeper served with some cookies.
" you arrived earlier than expected, lord "
"Hn. Things went smoothly "
