The Alliance Marriage Went Wrong

Orius was riding his horse alone as he was on his way to the address the guard gave him.

Zaro Aventine wanted him to go there and though he knew how dangerous it was, he will never allow anything to happen to his wife or the Crown Princess, no matter what the price was.

The woods which wasn't far from the river where they were captured was around an hour away from the inn but because he was in such a hurry, he only took 45 minutes to reach there.

When he halted his horse, he didn't see a single person at the place and he was quite worried. However, once he gets off his horse, four men suddenly appeared and pointed their swords at him. Though he had his sword with him, he chose to not wield it. After all, the lives of two women were on the line.

While one of the men pointed his sword at him, the other three observed their surroundings to know if anyone came with him or follow him. After a long observation, they nodded.
