- Go get some rest, Trey, we have a busy day tomorrow, I'll wake you up when it's your time to be on your guard. - Keirin spoke in a low voice, it was clear that the delicious food relieved her of part of her sadness.
Nodding to her, rising from the ground, I looked around without seeing possible dangers, opening the tent, going inside and looking at it, I left the tent open.
Lying down on the bed and looking towards the entrance where Keirin was sitting, I began to slowly fall asleep.
Feeling someone pushing me, opening my sleepy eyes, I saw Keirin in front of me in the darkness of the night.
Remembering where I was and slowly rising from the bed, seeing that I woke up, she moved away, giving me the opportunity to leave the tent.
Yawning and still sleepy, I left the tent behind her, looking around I saw the robber still lying on the ground and apparently sleeping.
I chuckled at his behavior and returned to the place where Keirin was waiting for me.
Sitting next to her and listening to the forest, the eyes can not tell everything.
Many predators are able to remain invisible until the very attack, and these thoughts did not give me peace of mind.
- Trey, everything is quiet no monsters or animals were around, I went to bed wake me up as the sun starts to rise. - Keirin said with a yawn and stood up and headed to her tent.
Unlike me, she did not leave her tent open, and having closed it, she most likely went to bed.
Left alone who did not sleep, I looked up at the sky, enjoying the light breeze that lightly touched me.
Tucking my legs under my chest, I looked around the forest in such silence, it seemed that there was no threat in it.
But remembering what I learned yesterday and about those wyverns that we saw in the sky, I laughed.
But remembering that everyone was sleeping, I fell silent, waiting for Keirin to scream from his tent, but apparently I was lucky.
The forest gave me a certain calm, even knowing that it was teeming with dangers, I did not feel anxiety. I noticed how Keirin and the robber from the rustles changed in the face.
In the Cray Empire, I don't remember being in the forests, the imperial children rarely left the castle where the whole family of the imperial family lived.
Immersed in my memories and thoughts about the forest, I did not notice how the night is getting thinner and a new day is gradually beginning.
The first to wake up was the robber who, groaning, began to try to stretch his back.
I didn't care about this man's comforts, he lived only until the moment he showed the camp he had left in the desire to attack the caravan.
And after that, grinning, he will die a rather painful death. Remembering that Keirin asked her to wake up as soon as the sun begins to rise the sun.
Getting up from the ground, feeling like my legs were numb while I was sitting in one position. Feeling an unpleasant sensation, I approached the tent thinking how to wake the girl up.
After considering the options, deciding to first call her by name, but after several attempts, Keirin did not respond.
Sighing and trying to open the zipper of the tent as loudly as possible, hoping that the noise will wake up this sweetly sleeping light elf. But to my regret, I didn't make too much noise for Keirin's awakening.
Opening the tent, I tried not to hide my actions, going inside. I looked around. Keirin wouldn't let me enter her tent.
She said that she needed a place just for her, so I looked with interest at the decorations hanging on the walls. Not understanding how a tent can contain so many decorations from paintings to several cabinets.
Forgetting the reason for my entry into her tent, I examined the paintings with interest. Some showed Keirin in various outfits.
But the biggest picture that was near the bed was where, as I understood it, the whole family of the royal family was standing.
They stood in front of the entrance to the capital of the light elves along the road stretched various caravans and foot travelers.
A man with a heavy but noble look and beautiful features, dressed in silver armor shimmering in gold.
On his head lay a crown; his golden hair fell to his shoulders. With one hand, he hugged the queen of the light elves with the other, clutching the hilt of the sword.
Turning her gaze to the queen, her purple eyes shone with a show of strength, a smile played on her beautiful face, in which it was clear that she was not used to losing.
Unlike the king, she was wearing a golden knee-length dress, which was close to her body, emphasizing her body curves and figure.
Remembering her in the duel, she hasn't changed a bit. Looking at the princesses, I noticed three girls.
Keirin and Samantha, I recognized immediately they have not changed except for the clothes in which they stood in the picture.
The third girl stood between Keirin and Samantha, she was slightly shorter than the two girls and had brighter purple eyes.
Turning her gaze to the bed on which Keirin lay, she lay on her back. The bedding was purple.
Her face was relaxed, her long hair lying next to her on the pillow.
Thinking about how to wake her up, an interesting thought came to me grinning and trying to make my voice more respectful as the servants address.
- Princess Keirin, wake up your breakfast is ready. - I addressed the sleeping girl in a respectful loud voice.
Hearing a familiar loud voice nearby, Keirin jumped up and began to look around in panic in search of the one who spoke. Watching her and her expression, I laughed.
- Fool, I asked you to wake me up and not to enter my tent. - Keirin said offendedly, covering her body with a blanket.
Continuing to laugh, unable to calm down, I looked into her purple eyes, in which the dream had not yet completely disappeared.
- I called you outside, then loud enough to open your tent Princess Keirin. - Continuing to laugh, I retorted.
She narrowed her eyes more and more, snorting, she went back to bed looking at me, calming down, I became more serious, rising from the floor and sitting on the edge of the bed.
- Today we will most likely come to this camp of robbers. - I said as Keirin's expression changed.
She expected my words to continue but I didn't know how to ask if she was ready to go to our next part of the plan.
- When we arrive, look around, get the rest of the information about the camp and I will kill this bandit. - I said getting up from the bed and looking at her expression.
Her face became gloomy, it was clear that she remembered something, I assumed that about that friend of hers with whom she worked together.
Turning around and taking one last look at the family picture, I left the Keirin tent. Glancing at the robber who was still sitting under the tree.
From his appearance, I understood that he was getting worse from constant sleep on the street. Hearing my steps, he raised his head in his eyes it was read that his thoughts about the escape began to disappear.
- Rise, we must approach your camp today. - I threw it to him and watched as he began to slowly rise from the ground.
Having gathered, we went further through the forest to the robbers' camp, gradually the sun's rays began to illuminate the forest more and more.
As I noticed, we walked along the beaten path, which the robbers most likely used. In different parts of the road, you could see footprints that led in the direction from where we came.
- Did you go this way to the caravan? - I asked the robber.
Hearing my question, the robber stopped looking at me incomprehensible. Frowning, he looked in the direction I was looking.
- No, these marks are most likely from other bandits. But it is strange that someone decided to use this road. - The robber answered cautiously, frowning.
I did not understand why the robber began to behave more carefully and looked at his feet as if he was afraid of something.
- Be careful if you don't want to warn the nearest bandit camps about us. - The robber addressed us warningly.
I did not quite understand what the robber meant, who began to walk more slowly and peer into the bushes. But Keirin and I accepted his words, we had no desire to have a fight in the forest.
As I continued to walk this strange road, sometimes I noticed a thread going from one side to the other. Sometimes I had to tell the robber about this so that he would not step on this strange thread.
