Several hours had passed since the carriage departed for Capital City.
Adonis and his group had already traveled about 80 miles.
"Young lord, are you feeling comfortable?" one of the guards from the carriage asked.
Their tone was polite, mostly due to the fact that this seemingly illegitimate child was admitted to the Royal Academy. And no ordinary person ever gets admitted to that prestigious academy.
Adonis Kingsbane was bound to become an official of the kingdom at the very least.
Adonis replied with a lazy air.
"Yeah. Except for the bumpy parts that rattled my bones."
"Hey driver, watch the road!" the other guard barked. "The young lord is feeling uncomfortable."
The carriage driver grinned back. "Aye, aye, sire."
Their obvious flattery earned Adonis an eye roll.
Nonetheless, Adonis was very much enjoying the ride.
"Do you know how much it will take us to reach the capital?" he asked the first guard.
