Ambushed

It was early in the morning as we were preparing to depart.

"Miss, I bought these buns from a bakery near by. They are newly baked and still hot." Tricia said presenting to me a bag full of buns.

"Hmm, they smell delicious." I said why smelling the steam.

"I know. You can snack on them in the carriage later." Tricia said.

"Thank you Tricia." I smiled.

"You are most welcome miss." Tricia replied.

"Are you ready?" Leon asked.

"Yes." I answered.

Spending the night in the inn was refreshing. I had a hot bath and was able to sleep on a bed. In the journey these past few nights, we were camping out in safe places. So having a nice bed to sleep in last night was heaven.

"If we keep up our pace, we will be in the capital before nightfall." Leon said.

"That's good." I said.

Not long, our carriage came with the coachman driving. Leon opened the carriage door and ushered me inside while Tricia followed behind me.
