"Such a noble deed," Artemis could not help but comment, "Such kindness and charity is rare even amongst the greatest of people."

"...You hear that, Charlotte?" Salim blinked a couple of times in surprise before smirking towards Charlotte, "At least your friend appreciates me. Anyway, the three of you should return and hide, this is my country's problem and foreigners shouldn't get involved."

"Oh, you don't have to worry. We're here for an entirely different matter."
