Chapter 411
When Kendra heard the man’s voice, her first reaction was not to be saved, but to be afraid.
“Let me go.” Kendra slapped the man hard, but the man became even more excited.

He tore at Kendra’s clothes, smiling lewdly. “I haven’t fucked a woman in a long time. I didn’t expect fate to be so kind to me, sending me a wife.”
“I’m a princess. Let me go if you don’t want to die.” Kendra was terrified. She never dreamed that she would be reduced to this.
The man laughed excitedly, “I don’t care if you’re a princess or a duchess. Once you enter this mountain, don’t even think about running away for the rest of your life. With me, you’ll have food and drink, which is better than feeding the wolves.
“Give me a son, and I’ll let you enjoy delicious food and drinks for the rest of your life.”
“No, don’t!” Kendra shouted.
Athena’s wound wasn’t 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, “Don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at, and don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Go ahead.”
“Yes.” The doctor looked petty and nodded.
The guard couldn’t help but mutter when he saw him like this, “Why is he so effeminate?”
“Hey, you’re in a humble place. It’s good enough that you have a doctor. Why do you care if he’s tall, short, fat, or thin?” 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 doctor’s face.
Ray didn’t seem to be leaving, so Athena said, “Aren’t you going out?”
The wound was on Athena’s 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, “Is my injury easy to treat?”
The man nodded gently, “Don’t worry. The injury is not serious. With me here, I will definitely protect you.”

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Athena grasped the doctor’s hand, “Where is he?”
“He’s right ahead.”
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, “My injury is minor. Let’s keep going.”
“Atheny.” Ray’s attention fell on Athena, his face full of apology. “I’m sorry for making you suffer.”
Athena wore a stern face, unwilling to say another word to him. “You are not allowed to hurt him.”
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, “Okay, I won’t kill him.”
Then he said to the doctor, “You can leave.”
“Thank you, sir.”
The guard looked at Ray suspiciously. Ray signalled to them. “Don’t touch him, let him go.”
After leaving the forest, the guard took off the cloth from the doctor’s eyes.
He pushed him and said, “Get out.”
Upon touching him, the guard was surprised to find that the fellow’s skin was a bit soft, not as hard as a man’s should be.
Jessa lowered her head and quickly left the place.
Ray continued south with Athena, having already written to Lizzie’s 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.

Ray sent out scouts to see if Lennox had arrived in Nexalasia.

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, “Your Highness, Lennox has arrived in Nexalasia safely and is staying at the wharf inn.”
Things went unexpectedly smoothly. Xander’s men did not follow, but Lennox’s reinforcements arrived.
Ray felt confident of success, and his face was full of smiles.
He said to Athena, “Atheny, we have finally come to the end of our suffering.
The city ahead was close. Athena lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, saying, “This is my first time in Nexalasia. I heard the food here has a unique flavor…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ray took the initiative to say, “If you like it, I can bring you all the delicacies of the city.”
Athena raised her lips and looked at him. “Okay.”
These days, she had been cold.
At first, Ray was very worried, but seeing Athena’s 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. “Enter the city.”
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 scout’s voice was very low. “The city gate guards have changed shifts and increased by 20% compared to last month, but the inspection is not strict.”
Ray tapped his finger lightly on the carriage, and his voice was low. “Understood.”
The carriage passed through two noisy streets, with hawking, children’s 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.

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.

Athena glanced left and right, and the faces of the surrounding merchants were very familiar. The entire street was Xander’s 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. “Madam, here it is.”
Athena nodded and was about to walk in.
The two maids behind her followed her closely.
“You wait outside,” Athena ordered.
The maids looked at Ray in fear, not daring to act without his order.
Ray looked embarrassed, and Athena said, “What? Are you afraid I’ll run away?”
“Atheny, that’s not what I meant. I’m just afraid you might be in danger.” Ray’s words sounded pale.
“All my danger come from you.” Athena looked at him gravely, “You’ve been watching me all the way, and now I’m annoyed. I just want to have a good rest, and no one is allowed to come in.”
Athena finished speaking and slammed the door shut. Ray looked helpless and said to the two maids, “Do as she says.”
