The Awkward Ride

Since the day after the festival was observed as a day of rest, most of the citizens had spent it in the comfort of their own homes.

The same could be said about one particular gentleman who had chosen to stay in bed throughout the day.

He had been busy for the past many days so he did not wish to let go of this opportunity to get that much-needed rest.

Not to mention that the King too was going to rest which further strengthened his resolve to do absolutely nothing on that day.

Having achieved what he had set his mind to, the young man had replenished his lost energy and thus had set out the next morning, journeying back to where his presence was needed.

Along the way, he had been resting inside his carriage while his trusted servant sat in the front, making sure that they moved at a steady pace.
