<div style="text-align: center">Questor:​</div><br/>The next couple of days were uneventful and quite boring. The troop of recruits for Laylahs training rode behind the carriage a bit back from it. During the stops at night they made camp close by but allowed Dante and Laylah their space as was proper since he was a Lord. Around their camp fire talk began about Dante and Laylah. One of the men grinned and said, "I wonder if Lord Dante is having his way with her." he chuckled, "I could not blame him if he is. "<br/><br/>One of the female demons rolled her eyes and said, "That is all you men think of. As a matter of fact you all think with the little head instead of the big one." That set off a round of laughter.<br/><br/>"Well can't say that you don't mind such a thing." the one said with a mischievous grin.<br/><br/>Again the woman rolled her eyes. "That may be, but what I mean is, have you not seen the way he looks at her. It is not with the lecherous look some men give women. It is soft and wanting and more."<br/><br/>"Aye." Said another woman. "I have seen that." she chuckled. "He is falling in love with his slave. Though I don't think he considers her one. I don't know if an Angel can ever love a Demon, especially a Demon Lord. But he is different than the others. He is handsome and strong, and any woman demon or angel would be blessed to have such a man like him."<br/><br/>The next day on the move once more, that is when it came. Two dozen men and humans attacked as they rounded a curve in the road. They came riding hard at the carriage. The servants drew their swords and stopped the carriage. As they neared the carriage the Twenty soldiers came charging in. Dante looked from the window of the Carriage and chuckled. Now that was something the attackers had not counted on. The battle was brief and all but one of the attackers were killed. They did not look like Raiders, though they were human and demon mixed. "Search the bodies and the prisoner." Dante told the soldiers. What they found made Dante raise a brow. Each had a pouch filled with gold coins, strange for a band of Raiders. Plus their weapons were of quality make which meant they were made by skilled weaponsmiths. "Bind and guard the prisoner well." he told the soldiers. "When we get him to the Castle I will interrogate him." The man did not look to happy about that, nervous and worried. Dante had a feeling this had not been a chance encounter.
