Sitting quietly in a carriage with a hood forced over his head, Willino waited for the carriage to come to a stop.
Though he had the ability to remove the hood and observe his surroundings, his naturally cautious nature prevented him from doing so.
For all he knew, removing the hood might cost him his life.
After a stretch of smooth road, the carriage soon began to bump, leading Willino to suspect they had exited the urban area.
Fortunately, the bumpiness lasted only about 10 minutes before the carriage stopped.
"Mr. Willino, you can take it off now!" A voice inside the carriage startled Willino into a cold sweat as he suddenly realized he hadn't noticed the presence of another person in the carriage the whole time.
"Th—thank you!" Willino removed the hood and alighted from the carriage.
At this moment, he observed that a forest seemed to lie before him.
Apart from the Bois de Boulogne, there wasn't another dense forest like this around Paris!
