"Damn it." Brinda clenched her silver teeth. "What a vicious, irredeemable scumbag. I'm going to beat him senseless and then snap his neck—wipe out the Empire's darkness at the root."
"Mm. That's what we're fighting for."
Both of them wore expressions as if they were ready to face death without hesitation.
"Oh right, almost forgot about the kid." Brinda jogged over to the little boy, crouched down in front of him, and revealed a gentle smile. She untied a coin pouch from her waist and handed it over. "Here. Take this and survive well."
"Waaah…"
The boy wiped his tears, overwhelmed with gratitude as he took the pouch. It was so heavy it nearly slipped and smashed onto his foot, but Brinda caught it in time.
"Thank you, big sister."
After seeing the child safely out of the manor, the two of them set off toward the Maple Leaf Territory.
