He Will Not Betray Me

Aisha felt her stomach churning. Her senses felt like she was trapped at that moment.

She gazed outside the window of the carriage that they were in. Lysa and she were getting farther away from Market Town.

Her heart thumped faster, thinking that she might be making a wrong decision. Perhaps, she should have stayed behind.

Her body tilted to Lysa and asked her, "It's just blocks away from here, right?"

Her hand reached for the couch of the carriage and pressed on it, wishing it could give her assurance that the answer to her question was what she was hoping for.

"Do not worry, my lady. We are only a minute away," Lysa smiled at her sweetly.

Aisha tried to sense the pace of the horse that was carrying the carriage. It continued to gallop steadily at the same road at a faster than normal pace.

Then she peeked outside the window. Indeed, they passed by some storehouses which were around the Market Town.
