When the morning came, they left and continued their journey. As the carriage continued to operate, David was looking for a place to have lunch, where no one knew where they were from or who they were. And when he saw a small-looking cabin from afar. David ordered Geri to stop by that cabin as it seemed like travelers were coming in it. Their coachman Geri first came into the cabin seeing if there were people who knew them. But there was nothing because the people who eat there are truly travelers. Geri notices it immediately because of the stuff they carry, one on the left table also holds a map and the other has a compass.
But someone knew and looked at Geri as if the random guy were scanning him, he looked back quickly and he knew that that was his former local colleague before he became a coachman of the Wright family. Geri ignored the man who looked at him and acted as if he didn't know the person. He hid his face with his hat and ordered food for the family who was waiting inside the carriage.
--------
When he left the restaurant, he quickly went to the carriage where they were, waiting for him to arrive.
"Your majesty, it's not safe there so I just ordered your food instead," Geri says taking a breath,
"Oh, thank you, why are you so tired? Why are you in a hurry? Is there something wrong?" David asked, concerned.
"Well kind of, but please do not worry, I just saw an old friend. It's nothing."
"I see... also Geri, you should eat too."
"No need to worry about me, your majesty. I already had my lunch a while ago." Geri the coachman said as he rode on the back of his horse, "Please fill yourselves up, we'll be leaving."
The two started eating while the carriage they were riding was already moving. After the two had eaten their lunches, Carlos had been given milk.
--------
When they got to another town, there were a lot of people so Geri couldn't get in. David came down to see what they were hearing.
"Wait Your Majesty, I should be the one to check--" When Geri was about to finish, David cut him.
"No, stay there," David said while making a stop sign at Geri, looking at the crowd.
David trumps the crowd as he reaches for what has bothered the people of the town, and there he sees that it is about the newspaper that everyone was rushing to get. David waited until he was able to get a single newspaper. When he got one, he read it first before going back to the carriage. On the second page of the newspaper, there he saw his father shaking hands with his father's friend whom he had not seen for 12 years from now. They were close buddies since his father's friend always gave him cookies whenever he visited.
Inside the newspaper, there was a family name who's in the second rank as the wealthiest and the most well-known family. They are the Haulmer family from the Grinsvil dynasty, they've pronounced about the soon Prince of the Grinsvil dynasty who was just born whose name is Lance Haulmer, younger by 2 months than Carlos. He will be heir to the throne. David was a bit confused about why the Haulmer family went to the Aukremore dynasty and how his parents were involved, so he read more. He knew why the Haulmer visited their dynasty, it was to congratulate the soon Prince which is Carlos, the King which is David, and the Queen which is Susanna of Aukremore but then the king of Aukremore said in the newspaper,
'I will stay as King until the time of my death comes and there will be no heir to our throne.'
Everyone in town seemed disappointed but still respected the decision of their King of Aukremore.
Said the news,
David was shocked into tears because his parents respect Susanna and his decisions so much, that he ran towards their carriage to where the coachman and his wife and son are. He showed the big news to them, they were filled with happiness yet, they were also worried about who would soon be the substitute for the heir to their throne whenever the time came.
--------
After reading the newspaper, Geri waited for a little until the people rushed to his left side to get a newspaper. He waited 7 minutes to get out of the crowd. After 7 minutes, they already left.
It was already dark but they seemed to be near the Village of Cuidado. The family in the back took a little nap to get a little energy for later. While Geri was enjoying his snacks, he stopped a little to feed his horse Waffles hay and then continued on their journey. It was already near midnight and he still hadn't found someplace to rest or maybe the Village of Cuidado.
He stopped somewhere safe where they were not seen by anyone, he made sure that the carriage was covered so that no one could see it. In the woods for in fact. With that Geri slept.
--------
--------
After a few hours, Geri heard a strange noise, it was already near daylight. It was very cold. He didn't mind the noise but then after a few seconds, he heard it again, so he hopped down on his horse Waffles and walked towards where the annoying sound was. It was well so he tried to look at the inside of the well but then it scared him because there was a bird who flew out.
"Stupid bird!" He whispered with an annoyed tone to himself. He was a bit annoyed that he walked back to where Waffles was waiting, "Sorry to wake you up, little guy." He hopped onto Waffle's back and continued their journey.
--------
--------
It was already daylight, and Geri was still awake while the family just woke up,
"Good morning, did you find a place to rest last night?" Susanna asked the coachman,
"No, your Highness, we were far from town to find a place. So I stopped at a safe place to rest a little."
Susanna nodded and hummed as a sign of 'I see', a few minutes later they found a sign which said 'The Village of Cuidado'. After Susanna saw it, she got nervous but then David calmed her. When they were close to the gate, a guy ran to them to ask them if they were lost. David and Susanna both asked him who the guy was and if the gate was the Village of Cuidado. The guy nodded.
