In the town near the castle, Ben casually strolled on a street with Holly, his personal assistant. He had done restocking all the herbs and medicinal supplies he needs and Holly who was helping him to carry all the stuff started ranting.
"Dr Ben, why don't you bring more people with you? Those palace guards would certainly be glad to help us carry all these things," said Holly.
"Well, if we brought those brutal guards with us, do you think those suppliers will have the guts to provide us with these 'special supplies'? If those stocks are too heavy for you, I can help you carry some." said Ben, in a more casual tone than usual.
"No, Dr Ben. How could I let your precious pair of hands carry all these? Don't worry, I can handle it just well all by myself," said Holly who rejected Ben's offer.
"I see. But if you really need my help, just ask, don't force yourself too much," said Ben.
