"However, it seemed that kind of blow didn't seem enough. He called his guards to arrest me, and before they got close, I grabbed the nearest wooden chair and hit him on the head with the wooden chair until he fainted. But, by that time, Nicholas' guards had swarmed my room, and I chose to jump through the window on the second floor because I didn't have any choice. Luckily, Aslan caught me at that time," Rosie continued, causing Howland to grit his teeth.
He lowered his knees, then pulled his sister's body into his embrace. He hugged Rosie tightly.
"Please forgive this negligent brother of yours. I should have forbidden you to go with the pig from the start. I'm sorry, Rosie… I'm so sorry…."
Rosie nodded. "I've never been mad at you, Howl. From the start, it was my wish to go with Nicholas, and I forced myself to go too."
Howland let go of his embrace, and then gently caressed Rosie's face.
