"How could someone be so cruel!?" Rosie stood in front of the lieutenant. "I did not expect that someone would attempt to kill the captain just as we arrived. To think that such a young man would have enemies— " her eyes were teary as she lowered her head.
"We have been doing our best to investigate the matter. However, we would like to thank the Young Miss for helping the captain. We wish that we had even more gold to give the Young Miss but—"
"I did not do it for the gold," Rosie smiled. "In fact, here— please take it back," Rosie told one of her maids to hand over the gold that the soldiers had given her while she was sleeping. "I need no such thing."
"But— "
"I can only hope that the captain will recover soon."
"Young Miss— "
"Again, I did not do it for the money. I did it because I wanted to help."
With that, Rosie boarded hercarriage and sat down. Soon enough, the carriages started moving and the group were finally outside the borders of the Aster Empire.
