The carriage sped along at a rapid pace.
The horses pulling it were two Gale Steeds, a type of horse-like magical beast even faster than Gale Steeds.
Magical beasts of this level already possessed considerable intelligence.
Even without human guidance, they could run toward a designated destination on their own.
Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to be stronger than them, and you also had to make sure they were well fed...
But as long as those two conditions were met, these magical beasts were exceptionally easy to use.
The carriage interior was lavishly decorated.
Red velvet covered the cabin, the curtains were embroidered with golden thread, and there was even a soft couch for resting.
This carriage did not actually belong to Silver Creek City. It belonged to the Ossivius Family. When the family had sent people over to deliver something, they had ridden in this very carriage.
In the end, the goods were delivered, but Lady Beshila detained the carriage and requisitioned it for herself.
Naturally, the family members did not dare say anything to this former eldest young lady. They could only accept the loss and return to the Empire in an ordinary carriage.
A small table stood in the middle of the cabin, covered with fine tea and pastries.
With a snap of her fingers, Flora lit a flame and boiled a kettle of water. Shefiliya used the hot water to make tea and poured everyone a cup.
She brought each person's teacup before them. Lin Mo's was the last. Carrying the tea over to his side, Shefiliya knelt down, but instead of handing him the cup, she held it up and presented it to him.
"Wow... you really know how to enjoy yourself, huh?"
Flora teased with a smile.
"Cough, cough—"
