Antalya spoke, "Considering the time, my companions should be almost done with their purchases. It's time for me to leave. I'll find an inn to stay in the settlement and will keep an eye on your daughter from the shadows, ensuring her protection."
"You could stay here, you know. With a bit of tidying up, we should have enough guest rooms! It might make protecting easier," Harry suggested.
"The difference wouldn't be significant. Active protection is still a passive approach in the end, as you've mentioned, Red Eye is expected to visit the town."
"Yes, because he demands we deliver Lorinda mushrooms quarterly, he should come to collect them himself or send his men while lurking nearby," Harry said with certainty.
"You must have reported this to the authorities in Breeze City, right?" Antalya asked with a smile, though her eyes held a hint of ice.
"Yes, we've reported it. They should have sent someone over by now."
