Chapter 103: Gifts
At the mouth of the alley, the two men sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Scott said with some remorse, "We shouldn’t have run. That young lady is still inside."
John, with a look of indifference, said, "Look at her attire; you can tell she’s a noble young lady. Even if you risked your life to save her, she couldn’t possibly marry you. If you died—who would take care of your parents? Besides, didn’t someone just rush past? Judging by their clothes, they should also be two nobles. If they can deal with the evil spirit, they don’t need us two. If they can’t, then us two going up would just mean two more lives lost. People like us should just honestly be grunts."
Suddenly, footsteps came from within the alley. A group of people walked out. Scott exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Miss, are you alright?"
The noble young lady waved her hand. "Of course, I’m fine. It was just a small evil spirit; it’s already been dealt with. Thank you for your concern, kind-hearted young man." This noble young lady then spoke a few words in a low voice to the knightly lord beside her with an air of indifference.
The knight approached them. "Good day, two brave warriors. I am Lothar von Habsburg, Lord of Jorgklusburg, Grand Master of the Royal Knights. Thank you for your concern for my... sister. I would like to ask you a few questions."
"You are Baron Lothar?" John said with some excitement. "Please ask whatever you wish, Milord. If we know anything, we will surely tell you."
"Regarding this evil spirit, do you know anything about it?"
"I think I know a little."
"You think?"
