When Kendra heard the manโs voice, her first reaction was not to be saved, but to be afraid.
โLet me go.โ Kendra slapped the man hard, but the man became even more excited.
He tore at Kendraโs clothes, smiling lewdly. โI havenโt fucked a woman in a long time. I didnโt expect fate to be so kind to me, sending me a wife.โ
โIโm a princess. Let me go if you donโt want to die.โ Kendra was terrified. She never dreamed that she would be reduced to this.
The man laughed excitedly, โI donโt care if youโre a princess or a duchess. Once you enter this mountain, donโt even think about running away for the rest of your life. With me, youโll have food and drink, which is better than feeding the wolves. Give me a son, and Iโll let you enjoy delicious food and drinks for the rest of your life.โ
โNo, donโt!โ Kendra shouted.
Athenaโs wound wasnโt deep; it only damaged the epidermis.
Even so, Ray still found a doctor for her.
When the doctor came, he was masked. Someone threatened him in his ear, โDonโt look at what you shouldnโt look at, and donโt ask what you shouldnโt ask. Go ahead.โ
โYes.โ The doctor looked petty and nodded.
The guard couldnโt help but mutter when he saw him like this, โWhy is he so effeminate?โ
โHey, youโre in a humble place. Itโs good enough that you have a doctor. Why do you care if heโs tall, short, fat, or thin?โ another guard said.
Tents were set up in the woods. Athena sat in the tent, and when the doctor went in, Athena looked over.
She lowered her eyelashes when she saw the doctorโs face.
Ray didnโt seem to be leaving, so Athena said, โArenโt you going out?โ
The wound was on Athenaโs arm, and if she was going to be treated, she would have to take off her clothes.
Ray blushed and nodded as he walked out.
As soon as he left, Athena said to the doctor, โIs my injury easy to treat?โ
The man nodded gently, โDonโt worry. The injury is not serious. With me here, I will definitely protect you.โ

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Athena grasped the doctorโs hand, โWhere is he?โ
โHeโs right ahead.โ
Just as she finished speaking, Ray walked in from outside.
He cast a sharp, suspicious glance at the doctor.
Athena, fearing he would notice something, said, โMy injury is minor. Letโs keep going.โ
โAtheny.โ Rayโs attention fell on Athena, his face full of apology. โIโm sorry for making you suffer.โ
Athena wore a stern face, unwilling to say another word to him. โYou are not allowed to hurt him.โ
Ray glanced at the doctor, seeing him hunched over to the side, not even daring to raise his head.
He nodded gently and said with a good temper, โOkay, I wonโt kill him.โ
Then he said to the doctor, โYou can leave.โ
โThank you, sir.โ
The guard looked at Ray suspiciously. Ray signaled to them. โDonโt touch him, let him go.โ
After leaving the forest, the guard took off the cloth from the doctorโs eyes.
He pushed him and said, โGet out.โ
Upon touching him, the guard was surprised to find that the fellowโs skin was a bit soft, not as hard as a manโs should be.
Jessa lowered her head and quickly left the place.
Ray continued south with Athena, having already written to Lizzieโs uncle, Lennox Schwartz.
The two agreed to meet at the border between Alephia and Nexalasia, and then take a boat south directly to Ramberg.
Ray calculated the time and knew that Lennox should be arriving in Nexalasia soon.
Once they passed Alephia, it would be even safer.
The carriage carried Ray and Athena for five days and five nights, traveling day and night.
The travelers on this road were not being followed.
Ray only suspected Athena, who had to rest for two hours after every half day of walking.
Fortunately, they were not being followed, which made Ray breathe a sigh of relief.
They finally arrived in Nexalasia after six days.
Chapter 411 Ray sent out scouts to see if Lennox had arrived in Nexalasia.
55 vouchers In order to avoid attracting attention, Lennox only brought a small team this time, disguised as merchants heading to Nexalasia.
The scout returned with news and told Ray, โYour Highness, Lennox has arrived in Nexalasia safely and is staying at the wharf inn.โ
Things went unexpectedly smoothly. Xanderโs men did not follow, but Lennoxโs reinforcements arrived.
Ray felt confident of success, and his face was full of smiles.
He said to Athena, โAtheny, we have finally come to the end of our suffering.โ
The city ahead was close. Athena lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, saying, โThis is my first time in Nexalasia. I heard the food here has a unique flavorโฆโ
Before she could finish speaking, Ray took the initiative to say, โIf you like it, I can bring you all the delicacies of the city.โ
Athena raised her lips and looked at him. โOkay.โ
These days, she had been cold.
At first, Ray was very worried, but seeing Athenaโs smile, the weight on his heart finally lifted.
Athena still had him in her heart.
The carriage entered the city, and the scout had already told Ray about the situation ahead.
Lennox was waiting for him in the inn.
Ray nodded and gave the order. โEnter the city.โ
The team had already been broken up into parts and entered the city.
The carriage carrying Ray and Athena followed behind.
Ray lifted a corner of the car curtain and glanced at the city gate, where the guards were checking the passing pedestrians.
The scoutโs voice was very low. โThe city gate guards have changed shifts and increased by 20% compared to last month, but the inspection is not strict.โ
Ray tapped his finger lightly on the carriage, and his voice was low. โUnderstood.โ
The carriage passed through two noisy streets, with hawking, childrenโs laughter, and the sound of finger-guessing games from the tavern rising and falling.
When the curtain was lifted again, they had arrived at the Yuelai Inn.
Chapter 411 The decoration on the lintel swayed with a warm yellow halo in the dimming sky.
Ray got out of the carriage and helped Athena down as well.
55 vouchers Athena glanced left and right, and the faces of the surrounding merchants were very familiar. The entire street was Xanderโs people.
So, he had already deployed everything.
Ready to strike in Nexalasia, to wipe out Ray and Lennox in one fell swoop.
All the way here, he had had people secretly protecting Athena.
Athena felt a little complicated, but Ray had already gone astray, and she could not save him.
Stepping into the inn, Ray had already instructed the waiter to prepare a table of specialties.
He opened a separate room for Athena, next to his.
The waiter took Athena upstairs and stopped in front of the best room. โMadam, here it is.โ
Athena nodded and was about to walk in.
The two maids behind her followed her closely.
โYou wait outside,โ Athena ordered.
The maids looked at Ray in fear, not daring to act without his order.
Ray looked embarrassed, and Athena said, โWhat? Are you afraid Iโll run away?โ
โAtheny, thatโs not what I meant. Iโm just afraid you might be in danger.โ Rayโs words sounded pale.
โAll my danger comes from you.โ Athena looked at him gravely, โYouโve been watching me all the way, and now Iโm annoyed. I just want to have a good rest, and no one is allowed to come in.โ
Athena finished speaking and slammed the door shut. Ray looked helpless and said to the two maids, โDo as she says.โ
