The door of the carriage opened, and a person stepped out.
"I can help you with that..." A voice fell in Xu Shan's ears, making him divert his attention towards the carriage.
There, he saw the person who was so vehemently being protected by the guards. Surprisingly, it was a little girl, who appeared to be eleven or twelve years old.
Behind the girl was a woman, who appeared to be her maid. However, the maid was even stronger than the Leader of the Guards. It was as if she was the last layer of protection.
Xu Shan found it strange that even when the Leader of the Guards was taken down, the Maid hadn't revealed herself. It was as if she wasn't willing to leave the side of the little girl, even if the man was to die protecting her.
The Maid looked at Xu Shan with a little wariness. Her eyes were alert, as if she didn't trust Xu Shan entirely.
