Chapter 348: Lady Annabeth.

As they reached the gates of the city they came to a halt as a man wearing metal plate armour peered down from the top of a wall.

"Stop right there! State your intentions!" The man shouted out as he pulled up a spear from beside him and pointed it over the edge of the wall towards Haru and Hong Xia who he was holding in his arms.

"Enough. He's with me!" The woman Haru had saved from the forest shouted out to the man which seemed to make him ease up a little as she looked back at Haru and bowed her head.

"I'm sorry about that sir. He is one of the guards my family employs. Please don't take any offence. It's his job to question people he doesn't know." The woman explained and the younger of the two followed her lead and also bowed as an apology.
