[Bonus chapter]Ambush

Damian acted normal as he strolled out of the beast woods and into the quiet village that was empty as he headed towards the other side of the village where he could find a carriage and the path back to the city centre.

Kong had a tense expression, which made Damian nervous, knowing how sensitive and accurate its senses were, but he was by no means afraid.

"I would like a carriage to Aria City Centre," said Damian after reaching where all the carriages were parked.

Seeing Damian and hearing what he said, all the carriage drivers were instantly alerted and it was as if they recognised him and they had probably been given a description of him by someone.
