Chapter 150: Onwards To E-Rantel
"Request?"Shido raised a brow, sensing she had something more in mind. Climb also leaned in slightly, listening closely, uncertain of what Princess Renner might ask.
"You see..." Her voice softened, tinged with sorrow. "Most of my guards were killed in the battle, defending the carriage from the bandits..."
Her gaze drifted to the fallen bodies nearby, eyes shadowed with pain.
"I'd like to ask you to escort us to E-Rantel," she continued, steadying her tone. "There would be an Adamantite adventurer group that would receive us, so if you're fine with that, I will pay you handsomely."
"Of course, I'll gladly accept this request." Shido paused for a moment, considering it before giving a decisive nod. He didn't have any money of this world so accepting her request is a good way to get some money.
His acceptance caused Princess Renner's eyes to light up with obvious relief and elation.
"Really?! Thank you!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with gratitude.
"I'm also heading to E-Rantel, so there's no need to be so thankful, Princess," Shido responded with a soft smile, trying to downplay it.
"Mnn." Princess Renner gave a small nod, her expression softening. She stepped a little closer to Shido, her hand gently resting on her chest as she spoke, her voice quieter now, more sincere. "I'm still grateful that you'll stay with us until we arrive in E-Rantel."
