LUNA was surprised when the carriage suddenly stopped. Obviously, something bad happened for the coachman to halt the carriage without warning. But she was worried because she didn't feel any other presence around them.
This is bad…
"Stay here, Miss Luna," Captain Sherwood whispered. "I'll check what happened outside."
She just nodded, then pulled Lord Winter to her body closer.
The captain looked at the unconscious Duke Nystrom a look full of concern before he quietly and swiftly stepped out of the carriage.
When Captain Sherwood was gone, she created a barrier inside the carriage.
"Don't worry, young lord," she whispered to the child. "We will protect you."
Winter's huge round eyes focused on her face. Then, he put a hand on her cheek gently. His skin was cold, but the young lord's gestured warmed her heart.
He's comforting me.
She smiled at the toddler. "Thank you, Lord Winter�������"
