Chapter 75 Interception
The carriage slowly drove out of Williere.
Several figures hid in various alleys, watching the carriage until it slowly disappeared through the city gate, at which point they retreated into the darkness.
The carriage traveled for a distance before suddenly stopping.
Diana curiously peeked out to check, thinking she had encountered some danger!
A group of horsemen dressed as guards blocked their way.
Diana got out of the carriage and went to the front deck to see what had happened.
"What happened, Emma?"
Emma breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Diana come out.
"I don't know either, these people suddenly blocked the road."
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black uniform gracefully dismounted and bowed slightly to Diana.
"You must be Miss Diana!"
Diana nodded.
"Yes! That's me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
"I am the steward of Earl Joseph Corey's household. The Earl wishes to invite you to a banquet. Would you be able to attend now?"
Although Diana wanted to attend the banquet, she ultimately declined after some thought.
"Thank you for the invitation, Earl, but we need to return to the academy, so we won't be going."
The butler was taken aback, clearly not expecting that a commoner would refuse an earl's invitation. They had already investigated and found that Diana was just a commoner with some magical talent.
Although she joined Austin College, that was not a prestigious status for aristocrats.
"Miss Diana, won't you reconsider? The Earl doesn't invite just anyone!"
"Didn't you hear Anna say she didn't want to go?"
Louise stepped out of the carriage with a calm expression.
The butler frowned slightly.
“Miss Louise, the Earl has also invited you to attend.”
"Please convey my apologies to Earl Joseph Corey! We have urgent business to attend to, please do not block our way!"
Seeing that the guard blocking her way showed no sign of moving aside, Louise gave the butler a sharp look.
The butler waved his hand, signaling the guards to clear the way; if soft tactics didn't work, he'd have to resort to force!
Emma cracked her whip, urging the carriage to continue its journey.
The steward mounted his horse, and a group of guards followed him onto the carriage.
Seeing this, Louise said coldly:
"Didn't I say we're not going!"
The butler explained with a smile.
"Miss Louise, you misunderstand. I just felt that you were traveling without guards and the journey was dangerous, so I offered to escort you for a while!"
Louise was about to say something when Diana stopped her.
"It's alright, Louise. We didn't build this road. If they want to follow, let them follow. As long as they don't get in our way!"
Louise then gave up and returned to the carriage.
Diana watched Emma driving the carriage and became interested.
"Emma! Aren't you tired? Why don't I try?"
Emma declined:
"No need, Anna, I'm not tired at all!"
Diana smiled sheepishly.
Actually, I wanted to try driving a horse-drawn carriage.
Emma moved aside, gesturing for Diana to sit down.
Diana sat down next to Emma.
Emma handed her the whip and reins and began to explain the techniques of driving a carriage.
"Anna, driving a carriage is actually quite easy. In general, you just need to remember four words."
"They are respectively De, Jia, O, and Yu!"
“‘De’ means to start, to let the horse walk slowly, and ‘Jia’ means to speed up. You can also whip the horse to make a sound and make it go faster!”
“‘Oh’ means to turn the horse. You can use the whip to gently tap it in the opposite direction or pull the reins in the same direction. You only need to use it at forks in the road. As for ‘whoosh’, it means to stop. Just pull the reins back.”
Diana found it quite interesting and was eager to try it out!
Then Diana just stood there holding the whip, completely oblivious to what was happening!
Seeing Diana's expression, Emma covered her mouth and laughed.
"Anna, most of the time you don't need to control it. The horse is very smart and can walk on its own! You just need to guide it to avoid some big potholes!"
Diana nodded blankly; it wasn't as fun as she had imagined.
Suddenly, more than ten people rushed out from both sides of the road ahead, each carrying a weapon. The butler following behind them had a smirk on his face.
"Xu~~~"
Diana pulled on the reins, feeling the carriage slowly come to a stop. The braking distance was a bit too far—bad!
At this moment, the steward, accompanied by guards, arrived at both sides of the carriage.
"Miss Diana, I told you, the road is dangerous! Perhaps..."
Diana ignored the butler, dropped the whip in her hand, stood up, and looked at the menacing group of people in front of her.
"What are you doing blocking the way? Are you planning to rob us?"
The butler, feeling slighted by being ignored, let his arm hang at his side and made a gesture.
The group blocking the road understood perfectly.
One of them drew a large knife, a lewd grin on his face.
"Robbery? Of course! This little girl is so pretty, if you just play with us uncles for a bit, maybe we'll spare your life!"
The group of robbers chuckled strangely.
At this moment, the steward rode forward a little on his horse and then took out a family crest.
"I am the steward of Earl Joseph Corey's family. Would you do us the honor of letting us pass?"
The group of robbers immediately became serious and began to discuss among themselves, as if they had made a decision.
"They're Earl Joseph Corey's men! You can go through, but this girl has to stay!"
He then pointed to Diana.
The butler looked troubled and turned to look at Diana.
"Miss Diana, they've acquired so many things, what are we going to do!"
"If you can come with us to Earl Joseph Corey's territory, perhaps we can fight our way out!"
Diana nodded.
"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. You can all go over there yourselves!"
The butler nodded.
“That’s right, with us… um? Miss Diana, what did you say?”
"I said, you can go over there yourselves!"
The butler almost swore.
Everyone was completely bewildered; this wasn't going to follow the expected pattern!
Diana, having watched the show long enough, stretched and made a gun gesture with her right hand, aiming at the leader of the robbers.
The man being pointed at felt provoked and, brandishing his broadsword, was about to step forward and teach Diana a lesson.
"Beep~"
A crackling light appeared on Diana's index finger, instantly shooting out an arc of electricity.
The man with the knife hadn't even taken a step before he was struck, then collapsed to the ground convulsing, foaming at the mouth!
Diana pointed to another person, who turned to run but was still hit and fell to the ground convulsing.
The robbers then came to their senses and scattered, fleeing into the jungle for their lives.
"Tch! This is so boring!"
'No one can resist my internet addiction treatment package!'
Diana picked up the whip and sat down again, then snapped it.
"De~"
The carriage slowly began to move.
The steward, mounted on horseback, clenched his fist and cursed inwardly.
'What a bunch of useless trash. How could they possibly lose if they all attacked together?'
