Thanks for the chapter!
Maybe it's just me but it seems like there's too many things that don't make sense. That caravan should have at least a hundred or so people between the soldiers and servants with more than a few armed and some like the Archduke in a fancy uniform with a lot of medals. So why do the bandits think they can handle so many people much less outnumber them? Also, why isn't Sir Trigger armed and helping fight? While it's understandable and great he's worried about Chloe, but having a Sir means he's either knighted and/or have a rank/title so should be armed and helping suppress the bandits rather than trying to shield and protect a slave that is considered more property than a person. Finally, why did the Archduke pick her up and what is he going to do with her, put her on his horse? Guess will have to wait for next chapter to find out.
