A carriage? There must be two hours as drugs lost effect and now I can move freely, and even see. We were only two people inside the carriage, I and the person who saved me. He was covered with a black hooded cape from head to toe so I couldn't see his face, but my suspicion was right, he was really a child like me, perhaps a little older.
I must remember to say thank you before I escape, I can't go with him, I don't know what will be there for me. I am sure it will not be something nice since I am like this.
The carriage was in motion. Strange, I see that we are moving fast, but inside we didn't feel any kind of movement. It looks like I was floating in the air.
I think that they had given a lot of importance to the carriage transport, which they have developed in these conditions. On the other hand, I can't jump from this height, and with this kind of speed otherwise, I will die before reaching the ground.
That was for the escape idea, I had no remedy but to wait and see when we will slow down.
The person next to me hasn't said a word, I don't know if he has noticed that I'm awake and I can move and talk freely. Maybe he is sleeping? If he is, I should not wake him up and stay quiet. Even if he was awake I wouldn't know what to say, to say thank you, to wait for him to do a question and answer, I don't know.
So peaceful!
Huh?! What the heck did he just put my head on his shoulder again? He was awake the whole time?!
"Do you feel better now?"
"Mhm!"
"Good! We have a little more time before arriving at our destination, you can sleep a little if you want."
Isn't the time I've slept enough already.
"Uhm, if I may ask, where is the place that we are heading to?"
He didn't turn his head and continued to look outside the carriage window.
"Is a place where you will be safe!"
"...And where is this place? I think that there is no place like what you are referring to."
He didn't say a word after that, so I kept my silence. It will not pass that much when we arrive, I can't jump off the carriage or do something to this person and threaten the people outside to set me free, he killed two grown men earlier and he is a kid like me, so I don't think that the second option will work. I should wait and see.
After a while the carriage began to slow down, this shows that we are approaching 'my safe place'. Even so, I can't jump yet, but at least I can enjoy the view.
Those flowers?! Haha, what an irony!
"Do you know that Convallaria means happiness in the flower language?"
"..."
"Some are planted there, do you think this is a sign that one day I will be happy?"
"... Ra-"
"..?!"
Waah! What happened? Why so suddenly?
"Are you ok?"
"Y-yes!"
"Sir my apologies but we had to stop because there are some bandits that are blocking the road, it is better to wait until we get rid of them."
It's time, now or ever.
"All right. Huh?! Stop don't go away!"
"Sir is dangerous outside! Sir!!"
Huff..Huff my body has not recovered from the drug yet, I should have taken it slow, but I didn't know he would follow me from right after I jumped out of the carriage. He is in advance here because he is riding a horse, while I'm running, but there are places in the woods where the horse can't pass easily.
"I said stop, why do you always escape from everything and everyone?"
Why I want to escape, simply to survive. I can't live in a cage and everywhere I go, I find myself in the same place, sealed in the dark. You can talk all you want and say any time you get the chance that I will be safe, but I don't believe you. Even those before you thought that they were keeping me safe, but in fact, the only thing they were doing was to satisfy their own selfish desires.
"Why are you leaving me alone again?"
"Huh?!"
What do you mean by leaving you alone again when I don't even know you?
He sounded sad though as if he was about to cry with what he said. No, that must be a trick to confuse me.
The forest is almost coming to an end, I don't see trees up ahead. Beyond this forest, I can find a place to hide. And he will find it hard to follow me because a person in a cape riding a horse will be suspicious in a place full of people
"Eh?! Don't go there, it is dangerous. Please don't ... RAAAI!"
W-What did he say? How does he know my name?
I finally pass the forest and he didn't get out of there. Who was he and he knew the name that they called me in the past? Only Miko knows it here.
Now that I think about it he wasn't afraid of me and didn't treat me like a monster even though he could see the color of the hair and the eyes. But now it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to continue the road.
This place is really beautiful. Is this a village?
The buildings here were higher and it was more populated and refined than all the places I had gone so far.
"A city? Gulp* is a city!"
It would be better to find a place to hide before someone notice my presence here.
Where should I go? Here is more difficult to find a safe place other than the village when the alleys were the usual places for this kind of work. In cities, the most dangerous places are alleys. Sigh, I will see how it goes, first I should leave the forest, it is unknown if he will follow me or not.
"How beautiful!"
"Huh?!"
"You have really, really beautiful hair, I would like to have two-colored hair too, but my parents will not allow it."
Where did this girl come from, from the dress looks like she is an aristocrat.
Wait a minute her features look familiar. A round angelic face, long curly pink hair, and blue eyes in sky blue. These are like the features of my favorite character in the novel I read in my past life.
Calm down Raelian is certainly not her, they just look the same nothing more.
"What are you looking for?"
"A safe place to stay."
"Hmm what about my home?"
"I'm sorry but that won't work."
What does this child want and why is she following me? It makes it dangerous walking through the road without being noticed with an aristocrat girl dressed like this following me.
"Why are you not leaving? Go to your parents, it is dangerous to wander on the streets alone."
"You're doing the same thing."
"Ugh! Look, for me is different."
"For me too"
Ugh the hell, she won't listen.
"Do you know what I am?"
"No. And you, do you know who I am?"
"Huh?! How would I know?"
"Hehe my name is Nasya Corttes!"
"Nice to meet you but now I should ... wait did I hear it right? You said Nasya Corttes?"
"Yes! I'm the only daughter of Marquess Corttes."
I heard it right. Don't tell me, don't tell me that all this time, all this time I have been inside the novel I read in my previous life?
"It's a pleasure meeting you!"
Whaaaaaaat?
