Ming Shu retracted herself into the carriage with her arms around her legs, shivering.

I'm starving!

With such a weak body, how is it possible for me to fight those wolves outside?

A highly difficult task with an especially weak body, are you kidding me?

Shashasha—

Ming Shu pulled aside the curtain and peeked out. The wolves might have seen her, as they were advancing in her direction. Several pairs of creepy green eyes stared at Ming Shu, which was very scary.

"Princess... Princess."

The little girl woke up and got up with sore arms. She nervously looked at Ming Shu, who was leaning against the window right then. "Your Highness, are you..."

"Shush." Ming Shu put a finger to her lips.

The little girl closed her mouth all at once. She followed Ming Shu's line of sight. The scene outside immediately caused her face to pale, and all she could remember was to scream aloud. But fortunately, she thought of Ming Shu's "Shush," so she timely reached out to cover her mouth, preventing herself from making any sound.

Wolves... there are so many wolves.

How is this happening?

The little girl moved closer to Ming Shu, clutching Ming Shu's arm tightly, and her voice trembled: "Princess, what should we do?"

Surrounded by so many wolves, how can we escape?

"Wait for a hero to save the beauty."This was a common story. But considering she was not the protagonist, it was unknown whether there would be someone to save her.

"Ah?" What hero will come to save the beauty? Shouldn't the princess be too scared?

The little girl gritted her teeth with tearful eyes. "Your Highness, let me go lead the wolves away, you take the opportunity to run and don't look back. His Majesty will send guards to find you, don't be afraid."

Now she could only think of this way to save the royal princess.

Ming Shu stopped the little girl. "No, no, that won't work."

"Your Highness..." The little girl's tears fell even more fiercely. "It's all my fault, I didn't protect you well..."

"Do you have any food?" I need to gain some physical strength!

"Ah?" The little girl was still coming up with words, and upon hearing this sudden question from Ming Shu, she was stunned for a while. Then she began nodding her head hesitantly. "Y-yes."

"Give it to me."

The little girl opened a box behind her quickly and took a few parcels from inside. There were some easy-to-carry dry food in the parcels.

Ming Shu became even more excited than upon seeing her loved ones.

After eating more than half of the dry food, Ming Shu was still hungry, but not so hungry as to die.

" Aowuuu —"

The wolves outside were howling with deep voices. Then, all of a sudden, the carriage rocked heavily, and some wolves jumped up onto the cover of the carriage. The little girl was frightened into screaming aloud, which made the wolves outside become even more excited. They started to jump onto the carriage one after another.

But Ming Shu was as calm as a log. She stared at the door while shoving the dry food into her mouth. Then she picked up the sword used by the assassin last night, quite conveniently. "Remember, later you run from the back, and run as far as you can."
