Was It Necessary?

North-western gate of Burfuna City, the soldiers stationed at the gate were feeling bored now. Most of the crowd that wished to work left in the morning. And, they would only be arriving during the evenings.

They still had some time before they would become busy. At present, the soldiers were just chit-chatting with each other, making small talk.

Through the main road appeared a carriage, driven by a couple of horses. All the horses were cared for in massive sheds in the city built exclusively for them. So, everyone that owned a horse would leave them in the shed and pay a certain fee for the caretakers to take care of the horses' wellbeing.

And when they wished to take them, they had to complete a couple of formal procedures. After that, the horses would be harnessed to the carriage they either rented or owned for the occasion. And, the place where all the carriages were stored was right opposite to all the sheds of the horses.
