After the meal, the journey continued, and I remained in the carriage.
They had completely eaten it all up and seemed to like it—more than six of them she had seen licking their fingers.
Some of them had even argued over the food and its share.
Xaden had not eaten it.
Eyes turned to the window of the carriage, and she saw Erik by the side on his horse.
He had saved her life.
If not for him, what would Xaden have done to her again?
This time worse, in front of his men.
Her body shivered, and she pushed the thought away.
She took some of her medicine and then rested for a bit.
"Halt," Xaden said.
She froze all the horses, and the carriage itself stopped.
There was silence.
The silence went on for a few minutes, and then I heard someone come down from a horse and then footsteps.
There was a slicing sound as if something had been caught, and then something fell down with a loud thud.
