It took two more days for the Sinyalian Kingdom's forces to be ready to attack the Glerian Kingdom's encampment. Gilberd had also planned his escape path and was now confident in his ability to make it out alive.
During these two days, he had tried to meet Sophie at every turn. Talk to her politely and respectfully but Sophie ignored his advances. Eventually, Sophie was getting tired of Gilberd who kept on pestering her every day.
Thus, she told him, "I do not like your presence, Gilberd. Stop pestering me and leave me alone. You are a talented warrior and there should be no shortage of women in your life. Just give up on me."
