Entering the Netherlands

 Alfonso had no choice but to accept travelling on horseback with them. At least his security was better; if only his carriage had not broken down at the town gates, he would not have been in this situation. 

 The door opened, and Abrielle's attention was drawn to Cedric, who just got inside the carriage and sat by her side. "What did Alfonso want?" She asked Cedric. 

 "He wanted a free ride because his carriage was sabotaged," Cedric answered, a little frown appeared on Abrielle's face as she pulled her brows together. That was suspicious; if there was one person she could never trust, it was Alfonso. 

 "And you allowed him." Abrielle stated, "What kind of brother will I be if I leave my brother to freeze in the cold." Cedric self-righteously said, making it seem like he gave a fuck if Alfonso lived or died.
