Lucian and Simon rode through the night, the cold air biting at their skin as the horse pressed onward. The moon was up, but its illumination was poor, barely enough for them to see properly. But thankfully, Simon had been smart enough to come with a lamp.
Lucian's half sister, Miriam lived at the outskirts of the kingdom, getting to her would take approximately two hours of riding, and they had barely ridden for more than thirty minutes. Lucian was tired already, and they had to stop from time to time to give his horse a little bit of time to recover. He wasn't just riding alone, and moving at such speed with two people on his back tired the horse a lot faster.
