Chapter 136: True Gratitude
"You... you speak the Radagan tongue? How...?"
The princess was shocked when she heard Jason speak her language, and Jason could see how her shoulders fell slightly, showing that she was letting her guard down a little more compared to before. Jason knew that hearing someone speak your language was a certain way to connect you to them, so he was glad that his system allowed him to learn the language so quickly.
Jason spoke again.
"Do you remember what happened before you passed out?"
The princess slowly sat back on her knees and frowned slightly in confusion as she tried to think about what had happened to her. The last thing she remembered was running away from Radagan because the Imperial Guards were chasing her, and then she had to jump through a Dimensional Tear before getting to her actual destination! There was a guard that chased her through the tear, and then he shot at her and almost killed her.
The princess calmly looked up at Jason and told him all of this before she finally asked a question.
"You saved me?"
Jason nodded as he walked over to the bed and took a seat. The princess still didn’t look comfortable around him, so Jason tried to give her some space as he spoke calmly.
"I was clearing out the Orange Gate when you appeared from a Dimensional Tear. I killed the guard that was chasing you, but you were unconscious, so I brought you back here. That was about three days ago."
