Chapter 20 - The Night Belongs to Us
In the end, Lily lent Tave one gold coin.
One. Full. Gold. Coin.
He'd refused at first—because that amount wasn't small. Not at all. In this world, a single gold coin was equivalent to a small fortune, enough to cover weeks of food, gear, and even rent in some parts of the city.
But Lily had access to far more resources than he did.
Thanks to her higher rank and stronger standing in the Knight Academy, her stipend was way above his, and to her, a single gold wasn't a crushing loss.
Still, it stung.
There was something deeply humiliating about being the older brother and having to borrow money from his little sister.
Sigh.
But he didn't have a choice. He needed gear. Supplies. Maybe even a decent backup weapon or potion set.
He promised himself—he'd pay her back. With interest.
The original Tave had really left him with a mess.
