Louisa woke up from her sleep and was surprised when David covered her mouth. There was the sound of horse steps near them. Louisa's eyes widened when she found out that the troops from the kingdom had come to approach them. They must be looking for him.
"Shut up and don't make a sound or I'll kill you and all your bodyguards and our deal is off. One life is replaced with one life," David whispered in Louisa's ear. Hearing David's words, Louisa finally gave up on shouting for help to the cavalry. After all, it was hER only chance to get away from David.
David took Louisa to hide behind a tree covered in leaves. The man had even removed traces of their fireplace last night. David is indeed very skilled at surviving in the forest. He is also always alert to what is approaching him. Therefore, David knew immediately when his ears heard the galloping of horses coming where they lay.
