"…Please, let me go out and save those who can be saved before it's too late."
Veronica knew she couldn't win if she fought against him using her strength. That's why she had to request him.
Sebastian stared at her for a long time. He was debating with himself.
He was strict about not letting her go at first. Nonetheless, after hearing her pleading, his ears started hearing the cries of people outside. He couldn't resist as his heart began to sway.
In the end, he gave in.
He sighed and told her, "Mistress, there are more than twenty men outside ready to kill us. I may not be able to single-handedly kill them. But, I will try my very best. Please hide under the bed and wait for my return. If I return, you will know every enemy is dead and you can save as many people as you want. If I don't return, just think I'm dead."
