Sylvia closed her eyes, leaning back against the seat, trying to relax and distract herself from the uncomfortable silence that filled the carriage.
The ride was long and the road was dark. It was a while before the carriage came to a halt and when it did Sylvia was surprised to see it standing amidst a lush thick forest.
Both Leol and Theo did not show any signs of moving, while Mikel opened the carriage door on his side and hopped out without a word.
Sylvia stepped down to follow him as the man carried on walking ahead of her, cutting through the trees and the thorny brambles, with his sword brandished.
He did not even look back once to check if Sylvia was alright which made her feel a bit weird. She could tell that he was still upset, but she couldn't quite understand why.
She had been obedient and followed all of his instructions to the very last detail and yet he was upset? Sylvia was not pleased and found her temper rising as well.
