11 The Final Straw

The last thing James saw through the window was Hansh repeatedly trying to attack the assailant & he dodging it again & again. Which continued for several moments before both of them slowing down & the carriage sped up.

Soon the carriage also stopped as hundreds of soldiers came into view carrying various weapons. Some of them talked with the driver & left in a hurry, but some stayed guarding it.

James tried to get out of the carriage many times, but every time he opened the door, a soldier would appear out of thin air & shut it down, telling him to stay inside until they clear the area. So he stayed inside looking here & there.

It was now abundantly clear that the assassination attempt had failed as he & Lucas were sitting inside alive. But what happened to the twenty soldiers & the captain? They were nowhere to be seen.
