"Madam, Miss, are you all right?!"
The bodyguard, whom the noblewoman had sent away on an errand, rushed back in a panic after hearing about the incident, only to find them missing from the scene. Believing he was a step too late and had exposed the noblewoman to danger, he had already started preparing for the worst. He only breathed a sigh of relief when a kind staff member informed him that the noblewoman and the little girl had returned to their room, prompting him to hurry back.
"I'm fine. Don't worry," the noblewoman kindly consoled the bodyguard.
She looked at him as he stood there drenched in a cold sweat, his face filled with anxiety, worry, and bitter self-reproach. She didn't blame him. She had been too overconfident, assuming there was no danger inside the hotel, which was why she had sent him away to run an errand. No one wanted to encounter danger.
