"Puth, are you okay?" Bella asked, concerned, receiving a nod in return. Thankfully the men had merely had her open the door and snooped around looking for their target and left when they couldn't find her.

Bella glanced back at Rui. "We need to leave this district immediately. I'm heading south, towards the outskirts of the town before catching a cargo carriage towards the neighbouring town of Laxus. We need you to accompany and protect us within Hajin." She insisted.

Rui nodded. "We can talk later. Right now, we seriously need to go." he said, before turning to face Puth. "However, you are not under my protection and having more people will only slow us down."

Bella grimaced, slowly nodding before turning to her attendant. "Puth, I cannot have you accompany us any further. The journey will be too dangerous, return back home." Not giving her attendant any choice in the matter.

She turned back to Rui, before nodding. "Let's leave."

Rui nodded in return. "You're too slow, I'm going to need to carry you until we reach find a rickshaw or reach a place we can lay low."
