Chapter 12: Erika, The Daughter of Thorn Noble Family
’I tried to avoid the city to get to the border. But she asked me to take her there,’ replied Agares.
"I am Erika Thorn, the daughter of the noble family of Berdiver City, the Thorn Family. If you are willing to take me there, I will guarantee you the reward you want,’’ replied Erika, a brown-haired girl with a pale complexion and shabby clothes.
Seeing her appearance, Agares suspected that Erika had been kidnapped and held captive by bandits for a long time. It was not impossible that they had also used her body to satisfy their lust.
’Taking her home will have a bad impact on me. They might find out that I am a saber,’ explained Agares.
"I have something important to do rather than take you home," explained Agares coldly.
"What? You don’t want to take me home?" asked Erika, shocked.
"I am a member of the noble family. With my family’s power, I can make you and your family into respected people in the city," explained the woman, trying to persuade him again.
Agares stood up and drew his sword. He wiped the blood off the blade before sheathing it again. Agares had no duty to take Erika home. Erika was not his master, and Agares was not her servant.
But then he remembered Nadia and her family. Their kindness in helping him out of the river made Agares halt as he was about to leave the hut.
’How could they help someone without expecting anything in return?’ asked Agares.
’Damn! Their kindness really bothers me. Should I help her? Will something happen to me if I take her there?’ asked Agares.
