บท 227: Poor Bel

"Thank you so much for your hospitality, but I do think it is time for me to return home. I am well enough to embark on the trip back. I would like to leave before noon."

Bel watched Arnold's countenance change at her words. He didn't say anything for a while, making her wonder if he had heard her. She was about to ask when he finally spoke up.

"I don't think you should leave just yet," he said.

"I do think I should," Bel replied with a frown. There was no reason for her to remain here.

"Well, I am asking you to stay. At least until we are sure you won't fall sick again."

"I don't think I can rack up more debt, King Arnold. I already owe you enough, and I believe it's time I take my troubles off your hands."

"I don't think you're trouble," he said with a smirk.
