"Why? The girl is in trouble." She frowned as she looked at the girl again.
The girl was looking back at her this time with eyes filled with hope.
"Wait!" He tried to stop her but she had already run towards the girl.
"Let her go or I will call the knights." Mary threatened when the girl hugged Mary seeking protection.
The thugs had strong men. Mary was not sure if she would be able to handle them. But she had already decided to offer them gold if needed.
But to her surprise, the thugs ran away. They fled so fast that she was baffled.
"Thank you for saving me." The girl bowed her head and fled away too.
"....." that was it!
Novels could really have strange plots.
But she still felt pride that she was able to save a woman.
"See! It was so easy! You were getting worried without any reason." she encouraged in front of the man who shook his head with a sigh.
