Just as the group neared Eastreach, they found an overturned carriage blocking most of the road ahead. People could still squeeze around it, but William’s carriage definitely couldn’t pass through.

Woodrow went over to take a look. Two men were struggling to right the carriage, while a horse lay collapsed by the roadside, foam bubbling from its mouth. It looked like it had died from heatstroke.

A young lady stood farther inside the scene, wearing a sun hat with a gauzy veil hiding her face. Beside her, a maid fanned her continuously. The woman wore a light pink dress cinched at the waist with a silver–gray sash, her figure so slender that it looked almost unreal.

She had probably been thrown from the carriage. Mud stained the hem of her skirt and sleeves, and her hair was slightly disheveled.

Woodrow called out, “What happened here?”

A tall, broad man hurried over apologetically. “Sorry for blocking your way. The horse couldn’t handle the heat and collapsed. The carriage flipped over with it.”

Woodrow squatted beside the horse and touched its neck.

Having fought on battlefields before, he valued horses almost as much as people. The animal’s skin was dry and burning hot beneath his fingertips. Its heartbeat was already gone.

“The horse is dead.” he said as he stood up.

The man sighed, looking troubled. “We’re in a hurry to get back to the Thunder Pack. What are we supposed to do now?”

“Who are you people? And why are you heading to the Thunder Pack?” Woodrow asked.

The man wiped sweat from his forehead. “We’re from the Thunder Pack. We escorted our lady to the Bloodmoon Pack to visit relatives. We rushed too hard on the way back. With this heat, the horse got worked to death.”

As he spoke, he glanced toward the group behind Woodrow “Uh… do any of you have water? Our lady is terribly thirsty.”

Not a single member of Cottontail’s group responded.

After years of working as scouts, their instincts toward danger had long been carved into their bones.

Everything about this situation felt suspicious. The young lady’s face was hidden beneath the hat, but her clothes, boots, and the gemstone bracelet visible at her wrist all screamed wealth and status.

If they were truly so rich and powerful, why were they traveling between the Thunder Pack and

1/2 Bloodmoon Pack with only one maid, one guard, and one driver? Why choose to travel during this hot

Woodrow understood perfectly well that something was off, but he said nothing. He wanted to see what those people were really after.

When the man asked for water, Viola had already grabbed a leather waterskin from the carriage and walked over to the young lady.

The maid reached out to take it.

But the young lady quickly stopped her and accepted the waterskin personally. “Thank you,” she said softly and sincerely. “I was dying of thirst.”

Viola merely hummed in response. One hand hung casually behind her back while the other waited to take the waterskin once the young lady finished.

The young lady turned away, tilted her head back, and drank several mouthfuls before returning it. “Thank you.”
