After riding for the whole day, Prince Karium and General Lena accompanied by the two guards finds themselves on the outskirts of the Clento Province which was about a day ride from the capital. Halting his horse in the quiet street, the Prince glanced around their surroundings.
"If we ride for just one more hour, we will reach the main area of the Clento Province. So, I think we should keep going on and enter the main area first though the sun already set," he said to his friend who was also riding a horse right beside him.
"That's great," Lena responded with a nod. "You know this area better than me anyway."
"Let's keep going then," Karium said with a little smile.
However...
Just when he tightened his grip on the rein, an arrow swiftly flew in his direction but he managed to catch it before it strike him!
"Karium!" Lena shouted and the two guards quickly rushed before the Prince to shield him.
