In the dark, the maiden's voice was slightly cool, carrying undisguised hatred.
Walking to a table, I sat down on an old chair and said, "You have completely broken ties with them to help me. Don't you think you're being reckless? Aren't you afraid you bet on the wrong person? What if you helped me, but I can't protect you? What would you do then?"
She sat down on the chair opposite me and said calmly, "Since I was a child, I've never done anything without certainty. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you could save us, so that's why I took a risk to help you."
As she just sat down, the chair creaked, seemingly barely able to support her small body's weight, evident it was dilapidated.
Hearing her trust in me so much, an unexplainable happiness arose in my heart, and I said straightforwardly, "Speak then, how do you want me to save you?"
