Chapter 141: Heroism Never Dies

--What do I do? Would it be best to leave her be until I handle Macheo?

Debating on this as she ran her thumb over the padlock, Iris listened to the continued cries of the girl behind the door, feeling her heartache at the sound.

Iris gently knocked on the door, "Uylia?"

Calling for the name of Heldjrim gave her, the crying had come to a sudden halt before Iris received a response a few moments later.

"W...who is it?"

The feminine voice was gentle yet audibly frightened, her words coming out shakily. Iris did her best to put on a reassuring voice, holding a smile to help give herself that calmness.

"I'm Iris, your father Heldjrim sent me to come rescue you."

"...Father sent you, is he okay? Is the village alright?!"

"They're all fine, Uylia, just calm down, alright? I have to take care of Macheo first...Do you know where he is?"
