The academy students saluted the town guards, and handed over the thief to them.
"Just a few words before you go, young lad," Andrew sighed, then told him in a calmer expression, "Listen. Do you think your mother would be pleased if she knew you stole the bags of flour? Apologize to the merchant and promise that you will never steal again."
The thief did what Andrew told him, and he was brought by the town guards to prison afterwards. He would stay there for three weeks after some disciplinary actions.
These kinds of chases happen almost everyday in Rubia Town. As long as the wide gap between the rich and the poor exists, there's no end to people committing theft just to feed themselves!
