Sharing the carriage

Evan POV Contd

I could not believe that even after practicing the whole night in the cold I still get lost that easily as if it was nothing but a child's play for her. 

"But you were much better this time. I had not expected that it would take more than an hour to defeat you!" I did not know if I should take it as a compliment or not but I nodded and smiled respectfully.

"You shall get ready, my lady. I shall go and prepare for leaving too." she nodded and took a deep sigh.

"Pack a lot of food this time. We may not get a chance to stay in an inn. We might stay in the tents near the borders where the attacks were severe!" I nodded and bowed my head as she turned to leave.

This would be the first time when I would see a war from this close.

I went to the kitchen as she instructed me to pack everything I could. From all the grains to spices, and from all the meats to dairy. Everything that could have been taken i packed it.
