Harry spoke in fits and starts, "You see, miss, since you saved me from the jaws of the Winged Tiger, I suppose your strength must be close to that of a level 3 magus. Therefore, I would like to hire you for some time."
"To deal with Red Eye?" she queried.
"No, no, no! There won't be any need for you to take action. We have already reported the matter to the lord. It's just that I hope you could protect my family for a while. You know, no one knows Red Eye's true identity. Should he seek revenge, neither my family nor I, being ordinary people, would stand a chance."
"My fee is not insignificant," Antalya said, picking up her teacup again.
Then, catching a glimpse of a small head peeking from behind a door in the living room, she smiled gently, "Your daughter is very cute."
Startled, Harry turned to see the little head behind the door and smiled warmly, gesturing for the girl to come over.
Hesitant at first, the girl soon emerged from the room.
