It was meant to give her comfort. Afterwards, he didn't falter, nor did he show any sign of fear as he stood tall and declared his innocence.
"I am not a criminal." He said loudly.
"What are you then and why are you wishing to ride this boat?" the bulky man asked, getting ready to pull out his sword again.
"I am just a man in love." Hyun shrugged.
