Dungeon King: My Goblins Have Captured Countless Female Players

After Howard finished the two slices of dark bread, he expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for helping me in my time of need. I will repay you later."

Nia, filled with curiosity and a young girl’s idealism, combined with her concern for Howard’s well-being, clung to his arm, refusing to let go.

Howard looked at Nia in surprise; ever since he had become an earl, no one had dared to boldly grab his arm and impede his movements in such a manner.

"You can’t leave; you’re not well enough to go," Nia insisted, struggling to articulate her concerns further but making it abundantly clear that she did not want Howard to leave.

Howard, with a wry smile, replied diplomatically, "But I have matters to attend to today. How am I to get anything done if you won’t let me go?"

By 10 in the morning on February 19th, Nia’s father returned from fishing, bringing back a large basket full of hairtail fish.

Howard had agreed with Nia to stay for lunch at her home.

After the meal, he insisted he would have to leave immediately, regardless of Nia’s attempts to detain him.

Seeing the bounty of fish her husband had brought home, the middle-aged woman joked, "Aren’t we always saying how hard it is to catch fish around here? How come you’ve brought back so many today?"

Her husband chuckled, waiting until they were a bit away from Howard to tell his wife, "Of course, simply fishing wouldn’t yield this much. I bought these from Kande down by the lower riverbank."

The woman covered her mouth with her hand, nodding incessantly in approval, praising her husband for not being frugal at a crucial moment and spending the money where it was truly needed.
