...
Night fell very quickly, hiding the world in impenetrable darkness. Although the moonlight tried to illuminate something, it failed. Looking out of the carriage window, I could see only the nearest tree, nothing more.
Okay, it's time to go to bed so that tomorrow we can quickly get to the village. I lifted a small table, securing it along the wall, and pulled a small compartment out from under the seat. Pulling on the rope, I pulled out another part of the seat, increasing its total area. This device was called a portable bed and was often used in such small carriages.
Royal level carriages did not use such trashy things. There was a full bed that could fit up to three people, and sometimes more. I myself have not seen such, but I heard about it in the store. People often talked there in my presence, so I could learn a lot.
One day a lady was telling a friend about her sexual adventures. She spoke openly about how, with whom, and where she cheated on her husband. I was disgusted to listen to this, but I did not want to drive away potential visitors, so I had to endure. Fortunately, her friend rebuked her and asked her to speak more quietly. Apparently, she had a conscience, and she knew what shame was.
Under these not very pleasant memories, I began to fall asleep. Soon my breathing evened out and I fell asleep. If I knew what would happen next, it would be better not to sleep at all.
...
At the same time. Forest.
Many silhouettes raced between the trees. They could be called relatively fast. They all chased the girl who was running a hundred meters ahead. She had long black hair, a gorgeous figure, and a beautiful traditional Chinese dress (the one with a cut-out leg). A beautiful red dress with gold patterns combined with a lovely figure created a truly amazing sight. It is also worth mentioning that she had a thin sword in a sheath hanging from her belt. It was a rapier with a slightly modified guard.
Although many figures were chasing the girl, it seemed that she did not care at all. The face showed no emotion at all. Pure apathy.
Suddenly, one of the figures rushed forward and rushed at the girl. At the moment of the attack, she had to leave the shadows and it became clear who it was. In fact, the silhouettes chasing the beauty were wolves. They did not have very thick black fur, like their skin. Eyes clouded with rage and saliva dripping sharp fangs lent ferocity to the image.
The Black Stormbearer is a special breed of wild wolves bred by Emperor Alfheim. Previously, they were hunters who caught traitors, but after the fall of Alfheim they completely got out of hand and pumped them into the forests. After so many centuries, they have run wild and now it is impossible to tame them without the methods of the Emperor, which have long been lost!
This terrible and ferocious animal rushed at the seemingly defenseless girl. But as soon as he got closer to a distance of thirty centimeters, the light of steel flashed, and as a result the wolf was badly wounded. He fell to the ground and, whining, crawled back into the darkness of the night.
The woman did not stop even for a moment, continuing to run in the direction in which she was moving. Even though she delivered this seemingly powerful blow, the wolves were not frightened. In fact, they ignored their wounded comrade and continued their pursuit.
The pursuit continued for another five minutes, until the girl unexpectedly ran out onto the road. On the other side was a carriage with horses tied to a tree. At that moment, her face changed for the first time in a long time. She frowned as she said:
"Damn, that's bad luck!"
...
I slept sweetly in the carriage, until suddenly it shook. The horses that were tied to the tree suddenly went berserk. With all their might, they tried to break free and tether and set off into the distance.
Recovering quickly, I ran out of the carriage and began to look around. It was difficult to see something under the moonlight, but I succeeded. On the other side of the road stood a woman in a beautiful red dress. She had thick black hair that seemed to absorb moonlight. But it reflected off her pupils, giving the figure a little divinity.
Suddenly she turned to look somewhere behind her, and then rushed to me, shouting along the way:
"Untie the horses, quickly!"
It was then that I realized that something very bad was coming. Damn why today? Why me?
I didn't have to say it twice. I dashed to the tree and frantically untied the reins from the tree. If I was not careful, the horses would have trampled me.
The girl, quickly covering the distance between them, rushed to the back of the carriage and, grasping the handrail, stood with one foot on the step. With the other hand, she pulled the rapier from its sheath and prepared for battle.
