Mage's Secret

As the wheels turned, Casey put down the curtain and squeezed Traphael's shoulder in his arms, silently comforting him that he was fine, but his own hands were still cold.

Traphael breathed a sigh of relief, carefully lifted a corner of the curtain on the window, and looked out, but Casey didn't stop him.It was getting late, and the faint trees on both sides could only be seen to form a black shadow as the carriage moved forward and receded continuously, like a ghost.

The moonlight shone through the window, and Traphael could see dark stains on the window frame and the corners of the carriage. He didn't dare to think about what these stains were.

The carriage drove for a while, and was about to drive out of the city gate.Traphael happily turned his head to look at Casey, but Casey grabbed back his hand holding the curtain with a serious face, the curtain fell back, and the compartment became pitch black again.

Casey leaned down and whispered in Traphael's ear, "Keep quiet."

The carriage was stopped at the city gate, and Casey pushed Traphael back to the ground, signaling him not to move, while he put on the hood again, completely hiding his pale face in the shadows.

A voice sounded from outside the car: "Who is it? What are you going to do so late?"

Hearing this voice, the bodies of the two people in the car shook at the same time.Traphael showed a look of surprise, even if he only heard this voice once, it was enough for him to remember it for a lifetime - this voice belonged to the knight who had saved him, Jeffrey.

For Jeffrey, Traphael only had trust and gratitude, and the first thought that came to his mind was to ask Jeffrey for help.But he looked up at Casey, and decided to follow Casey's arrangement, so as not to implicate him on his impulsiveness, so Traphael didn't make a sound or move.

In the darkness that Traphael couldn't see, Casey's face was bitter.He has a sweetheart, although he often feels pain because of this small hope, this person is still his only life-saving straw, pulling him tightly at his most vulnerable moment, is his only hope of surviving, It is also the only light in his dark life.

This man is Geoffrey the Knight.

Casey is Angus' male favorite, but he is not under house arrest. He also has a high status in the manor.He sometimes went shopping in the streets, and got acquainted with the knight.Although in the mud, Casey still has a kind and sympathetic heart, and he is quickly attracted by the upright and kind knight.He knew that his identity was dishonorable and sensitive, and he didn't want to bring trouble to the knight, so he buried this feeling deeply in his heart, and often secretly tasted it, never being known to anyone.

If he could, Kathy would have raised the curtain to call for help from his beloved knight, but he couldn't.

Although Angus even cared about a copper coin, he was actually one of the most powerful businessmen in the city.Casey has been with Angus for many years, so he naturally knows that he has some contacts with the city lord, and often mobilizes the guards in the city to help him with affairs.Although most knights are upright people, they must obey the orders of the city lord.If he was exposed here, the matter would definitely be exposed, and once he was arrested, he would never be able to escape.

The coachman outside the carriage briefly explained to the knight. It seemed that this was not the first time Geoffrey had encountered such a thing. He did not speak, but with an expression of resentment and disgust, his hands tightly held the hilt of his sword, his face flushed with anger. red.

The comrade-in-arms who was on duty with him walked up to him and held his hand, shaking his head slowly at him with a solemn expression.They were very angry about it, but they couldn't do anything about all the evil things these rich and powerful people did.Jeffrey stared down at his toes, and stood for a while before reluctantly walking aside.

Waiting in the dark car was a very difficult thing. Casey pressed her hand against the car wall, her forehead resting on the back of her hand.His heart could not be calm. On the one hand, he was sad about saying goodbye to his beloved, and on the other hand, he was worried about whether he could really be free.

It wasn't until the carriage moved again that he let out a long breath, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.

As soon as the carriage left the city gate, there was a commotion from the city behind.Cassie didn't care about keeping a low profile any longer, she opened the curtains and leaned out to look back. Someone behind them was chasing them on a horse with a torch and shouting.

Casey immediately understood that the matter between him and Trafael had been exposed.

At this time, the coachman also noticed the abnormality behind him. He opened the curtain hanging on the car door and looked into the car. He saw Casey leaning out and looking back. He also saw Casey's body clearly through the light of the torch at the city gate. Face.

"Mr. Casey?!" The coachman called out in surprise, subconsciously wanting to stop the carriage.

"Don't stop, go quickly." Casey said to the coachman hastily.

The coachman looked at Casey, then at the pursuers behind him.These people who came to chase them looked like people from the manor. No matter how they thought, something had happened. Although he usually obeyed Casey's orders, he would not continue to help them escape at this time.

Seeing that the driver continued to rein in the horse, Casey was a little anxious, and rushed out of the carriage to grab the reins from the driver.The coachman dodged past him, and Casey's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed at the coachman.

The coachman had no fighting strength, and Casey took the upper hand with a flick of the dagger. The coachman had to hold the rein in one hand and catch Casey's arm holding the dagger in the other.

Traphael no longer cared about pretending to be dead. He squatted by the car door to help, but he couldn't intervene at all.

The front end of the carriage had very little space for the two to fight. During the scuffle, Casey stabbed the horse in the buttocks. The horse immediately neighed and ran forward frantically, but Casey and the coachman also panicked because of the sudden acceleration of the carriage. Unable to stand firmly, they pulled each other and fell from the edge of the carriage.

Seeing this, Traphael rushed to the outside of the car, grabbed the car door with one hand, and stretched his body to catch Casey, but he was still a step too slow, only his fingertips touched the corner of his clothes, and he hooked his fingers back, empty of everything. Did not catch.

"Kathy!!!" Traphael leaned forward and shouted, but he could only watch the gray robe roll a few times on the dark ground, and then get farther and farther away from him. Soon, it was completely obliterated in the darkness together with the chasing flame.

The last voice he heard from Casey was Casey's scream, "Jeffrey! Help me!"

From then on, he never saw the beautiful Casey again.After a long time, he has gained a lot of reputation and status. He also revisited the old place, but only found out that the knight named Jeffrey left the city with Casey, and no one knew where they went.

Until the end, he couldn't find out the whereabouts of the two, but he believed that these two kind-hearted people would finally be happy and stay together for life.

But at this moment, Traphael had no idea of ​​what he would experience in the future. He lay on the window and looked at the twisted and blurred tree shadows on both sides of the carriage, and the deep and dense night, and finally cried out.The horses pulling the cart galloped forward uncontrollably, heading in a completely unknown direction.

He is alone again.
