Music Recommendation: In the court- Nathan Barr
—
The little happiness that had arrived with the sound of possessing eighty gold coins left Eve when she heard Vincent's words.
Dave glared at Vincent before turning his eyes to Eve and saying, "If the lady doesn't have any problem, we should be able to compromise our mistake with said amount."
"She doesn't want money," replied Vincent, and Eve's heart sunk in her chest. "Though Ms. Barlow comes from Meadow, her aunt is a governess and so is she. Even if you discard such details, you forget that she was thrown not anywhere but in the dungeon, where she was tortured by a whip that has left scars. Do you think mere eighty gold coins will fix it? What about her reputation in society once people find out about it?"
This was something Eve dreaded. She hoped that it would never come to light.
