The carriage rushed along the uneven road, bouncing on every oncoming bump. Even though I said to get ready to frolic, but when everything was ready, the sun had already set.

And the deeper the night was, the more dangerous it was to rush through this wilderness. The inevitable way out was to pick up speed.

I held Carlisle's head firmly against me in case we did roll over.

"Mom, when will we arrive?"

Carlisle naturally remarked that this was not a fun excursion.

"Not much is left."

As soon as I said this, the carriage suddenly slowed down.

"Have you arrived? - Jed said in bewilderment.

"Don't go further. We'll have to do it on our own two feet."

Is the road blocked?

"Nothing to do."

I handed Carlisle to Jed and stuck out.

Around one dense forest.

"Jed, are we on the right track at all?"

I saw only a dark road through the woods.

"That's right... it's all on the map."

Is it because darkness has descended? The road looks extremely confusing. It seems that soon there will be something.

Jed was also on the alert.

We looked at each other in silence for a while.

This is Jeremy's hideout, but why does the place look so much like an ambush?

Should we go there?

A man from the escort looked into our carriage and said cautiously:

"We need to get to the shelter before the night gets deeper. There are wolves in these parts."

And the knight was right about that. Whether we return to the mansion or move towards Jeremy, we need to run somewhere one way or another.

It was dangerous to spend the night in the forest.

"Jeremy himself found this refuge, so we have nothing to fear. Rather, it's even better. Nobody would think that there is someone's house in such a hole."

Jed tried to give me hope.

I hesitated.

Yes, this secret place was prepared by Jeremy, not anyone else.

I trusted him.

I took Carlisle from Jed and wrapped him in a robe in case anyone saw him.

"Lead."

After the convoy lined up around me, we stepped into a dense forest.

A two-story mansion appeared ahead.

"They seem to have come," shouted the knight from the escort. We stopped near the mansion.

The knights scurried about. Jed got off his horse and came up to me.

"Ellie, come on, let's go there."

He held out his hand to me.

"Carlisle, we've arrived."

Did you fall asleep there?

Carlisle was silent and did not move. When I looked under the robes, his glassy eyes were wide open.

He was so scared in an unusual atmosphere.

Throwing his robes back, Carlisle gently lifted his head.

"Mom. Have we arrived yet?"
