"I don't know how those moments went by so quickly, but I realized that I had become reluctant to part ways with her. Not only because of the kindness and affection she had provided me with, but also because I didn't want to face the inevitable that was waiting me outside the carriage.
She saw through my thoughts and said: "You can stay here and not go out. I'll ask Benny to check out the situation inside. But I would suggest that you go witness it yourself. Whatever it might feel like for now, it will give you direction when you feel lost. It will make you realize what you need to do and not let this kind of thing from repeating itself."
I realized something from her words, or maybe I had realized it long ago. But I ultimately decided to go myself.
We disembarked and followed the butler Benny to what looked like the ruins of a once lively town. Due to its location in an open plain that was simple to assault, the bandits presumably didn't use this town as a b

"But I couldn't have guessed that fate would save me from that effort. That day did become memorable, but not in the way I had hoped.I once again saw the face I didn't want to see even in my nightmares."Loreana clenched her fists, revealing a never-before-seen expression of hatred on her always-gentle face."We were on our way to the village when we were abruptly stopped by a commotion in front of us." Some of our village's residents were running in our direction. The majority of them were injured and covered in blood as they ran towards us.Other men dressed as bandits were chasing them down at a leisurely pace. They clearly had the strength to kill the villagers in an instant, but they appear to find a twisted sense of comfort in torturing the helpless villagers.Both groups were taken aback by our appearance. When the villagers saw Lady Faustina, they were overjoyed. They were aware that they had been saved.The bandits' faces were also surprised, as if they hadn't expected to se

"The man-from-the-auction was in the lead, looking menacingly at us. His previous calm had vanished, clearly affected by the death of the man Lady Faustina had just finished off.They saw through her escape plan and immediately engaged her in a fight.Just as things were looking bleak for us, we heard a commotion coming from behind the enemy.To our pleasant surprise, it was Uncle Benny! As Lady Faustina had said to me earlier, he was really a tough guy.Even our adversaries were in disbelief. Their gazes turned towards the path from where Uncle Benny had arrived, clearly looking for someone.They must have left quickly after hearing the commotion caused by Lady Faustina and the masked man's fight. They should have left some people to deal with Uncle Benny, who was half-dead when they left.But it was clear that they had underestimated him even more than I had.Uncle Benny charged into the bandit group and dealt with anyone who appeared in his path. The original four who had been stal

"When I regained consciousness, I discovered that I was in an enclosed space. Only after I heard the noise and felt the motion did I realize that I was in a carriage.I tried to move, but the slightest movement caused me pain. I guessed it must have been due to the turbulent waves that battered my body after we jumped down that waterfall.I wanted to go outside and search if the person driving was Uncle Benny. But I was having trouble gathering strength, so I kept resting till I fell asleep. I had also made an effort to use the tiny bit of energy I had felt earlier to assist me get through the discomfort before going to sleep.The next time I opened my eyes, it was already morning. Although my body continued to feel frail, the ache was gone.The moment I considered leaving, the carriage stopped. Soon, I heard some footsteps coming closer, as the door to the carriage opened amidst my anticipation.A young man entered my vision. It was Bolance. He was surprised to see me awake, while I

"I had never drank in my life before that. I had only seen Uncle Benny enjoy some liquor, while Lady Faustina too liked to taste some fruity wine. But they never showed any signs of losing control of their faculties.Maybe I had too much faith in my puny strength, as I decided to take a sip. How bad could it turn out to be?Just the first sip made me want to spit it back out; the burning sensation was only making it harder for me to drink anymore. But I saw that Bolance had also calmed down when he saw me drinking. He raised his glass to show his appreciation for accompanying him. Taking small sips, instead of the large swigs like earlier, he began talking about some business plans and proposals he had prepared. I didn't understand most of what he had said. What I did understand was that it was also related to the reason why he looked so down.As I tried to make sense of how a business related topic might be connected to his broken heart, I also had another problem to deal with.Bolan

"He informed me about the invitation from the then-head of the Safaira family.I was apprehensive, but then I realized that it was their territory after all. They could have done something to me already if they had meant it.I followed the polite messenger to the Safaira Mansion, suppressing my nervousness.I quickly met the dignified head of the Safaira family, under whose protection I had sought refuge.That was my first meeting with Uncle Gamus. He was in his prime back then, looking every bit like what one would imagine a family head to be.But he didn't intimidate me. One because he didn't want to, and another because I had lived with people much more powerful than him.As I entered the courtyard he had summoned me to, I saw a person tied up to a tree there.It was Bolance. His expression was green and anguished, but he didn't dare to speak as Uncle Gamus gazed at him regularly.To my astonishment, Uncle Gamus apologized to me on behalf of his nephew.Without waiting for me to sa

Seeing Crystal's unsatisfied expression, Anom sat up before leaning over to pull her over to him.Lying down once more, he then made her lay on top of him, her soft bosom resting against his chest."You don't have to worry, Crystal. You'll understand it soon enough." There was a kind smile on his face as he assured her.As Loreana heard his words and looked at his expression, which was in total contrast to the topic, she couldn't help but marvel at how someone could even say that with a straight face.Crystal, who was on top of him, suddenly squirmed. "Anom! Something is poking me in the stomach."Hearing her words, the other two blanked for a moment before Loreana suddenly glared at Anom.Anom himself was stunned. Facing Loreana's warning glare, he smiled wryly.Speedily, he moved his hand to check around his waist before yanking something out of there.It was his sheathed blade. "It was my blade poking her, not the "sword" you were...""Alright, I got it!" Loreana hu

When his eyes opened next, morning was already on its way.Anom looked at the sky through the window; it was gradually brightening up."It's time for action." Anom muttered before heading towards the washroom.After freshening himself up, he straightened his appearance and checked his gear before turning to walk out of the room. Following the stairs, he came down and made his way towards the exit of his quarters.Walking on the paved path that led towards the central region of the Safaira estate. No one beside him was staying in the guest area, so he didn't meet anyone on the way.Anom passed through the garden full of vibrant flowers and turned towards the hallway that led towards Loreana's chamber.He had only walked a short distance on the path when he saw a cute and lively figure walking in his direction."Ah!" Luna paused as she saw Anom appear from behind the corner. "Big Brother Anom!" Exclaiming his name, the cute little maid ran towards him with cheerful steps.Anom opened hi
