Standing on the beach, Talina placed her hand on her forehead and watched Chen go away.

From the three people when we first came here to the one person now, the span of time is only three or four days.

"Everyone has already left, but you're still reluctant to go back?"

Candela, who came with her, saw that Talina was still in a daze, so she walked up to her and reminded her.

"It's definitely a good idea to take one more look. After all, you never know when we'll meet again."

Putting down her hand, Talina shook her head slightly.

"The separation won't last long. Nephew Chen isn't the type to wander around."

Comforting Talina, Candela asked aloud.

"What are your plans? If you don't mind, why not stay in Dos Sores for a few more days and have some fun? I recently got news that people from Rhodes Island will be passing through Bolivar soon, and you can catch a ride back with them."

"...Is that so?"

After hearing what Candela said, Talina hesitated.

It was only then that she remembered that she seemed to be registered in Rhodes Island...

Is it not a good idea to go on a trip by yourself and then take the company car back home afterward?

"Their next stop is Casimir. You can go with them, so why not?"

As if noticing Talina's hesitation, Candela threw out the bait she had prepared in advance.

Sure enough, Talina, who was only thinking about going home, took the bait without thinking.

"Then please stay a few more days. Sorry to bother you. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know..."

Turning around and setting off on the journey back with Candela, Talina walked side by side with the mayor of Dosoles.

"I wouldn't bother you, but...if my nephew really wants to share my worries, I do have a problem..."

With a smile of triumph on her face, Candela said, "I wonder if my nephew needs someone to serve him, the so-called..."

"Maid."

Volume 6: Chapter 40: You are a good person

"Forehead..."

Looking at Rafiela huddled alone in the prison, Talina always felt like a rich lady who came to select slaves.

Although she had anticipated what Candela's so-called trouble was, Talina was still stunned when she saw Candela taking her to prison.

She really didn't have any special hobbies. Although Russell held a high position, he usually forbade her and Viviana to go to unclean places.

For example, the Casimir black market, where slaves are bought and sold.

"Mayor Candela... I think you may have misunderstood something..."

Talina walked to the side, trying to avoid Rafiela who had fallen asleep with her head buried, and whispered to Candela.

What she meant by solving the problem was helping to deal with the remaining remnants of Pancho's gang in the city of Dosoules, not coming here to act as a confidant big sister.

"I thought you were interested in this kind of thing. After all, Casimir seems to be very prosperous..."

Touching her chin, Candela realized that she seemed to have done something wrong.

The slave trade in Casimir is much greater than that in other cities. Every knight family or noble family will have one or two servants to serve them.

Of course, they are called knight squires to the outside world.

"Mom hates these things. If I accept them, I'm afraid I'll get scolded when I get home, so..."

Carrying Russell out as a reason for her refusal, Talina turned her head to look at the pitiful Rafiela.

The cute short hair on her head was now messy, like a bird with its feathers standing on end. Her body was also pitch black, and it was obvious that she had not been well.

Most of the time, they were not taken care of after they were arrested.

"That's a shame, I thought you had a place to keep her... After all, she's not as useful to me as her father, nor as good as Ernesto..."

Candela said this regretfully, and she understood Talina's difficulties, so she took her out without continuing to "sell" her.

"Excuse me, what are you going to do with her?"

Because of her acquaintance with Rafiela, Talina asked about Rafiela's possible fate, but she soon regretted her decision.

"I don't know. Maybe we should expel Dosoles. After all, she's involved in this. It's impossible for her to stay here any longer."

"But there's war going on everywhere. If she goes out in her current condition, she'll probably be captured and sold. I think you should see her in Casimir."

"Maybe she'll even be able to compete in the Knights' Games. I remember Casimir recently allowed infected people to participate..."

"alright..."

Raising her hand to interrupt Candela's words, Talina covered her head and said with a headache.

"Please give me a certificate. I'll go back to Rhodes Island and ask. They should be happy to take her over."

Turning around and walking back, Talina gently knocked on the iron bars that trapped Rafiela, trying to wake her up from her sleep.

She did have the ability to bring such a Liberi back, but she shuddered at the thought of the possible consequences.

Just give it to Rhodes Island. They accept everyone anyway. As long as you are not an antisocial problem child, you can find a job in Rhodes Island.

“This might be a little difficult…”

Stroking her chin, Candela hesitated.

"After all, it was old Pancho who asked me to do this. He said he had discussed it with you before. I thought you knew about it..."

This was the only condition that could make Pancho give in after she had a whole night of discussion with him last night, and that was to send Liberi away.

Compared to the talented Ernesto, Rafiela seemed a little too mediocre. She could not help her at all and there was no point in keeping her. What's more, Pancho didn't want his comrade's daughter to follow him through life and death.

Then sending her away is the best outcome.

But as the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. After Pancho's failure, his former "good friends" all distanced themselves from him. Without knowing the deal between Candela and Pancho, they would not act rashly.

Not to mention taking in a prisoner.

After much thought, Pancho could only try his luck with Talina.

Although there is no strong relationship between the two, it always helps to give it a try.

"I don't remember him and I being on such good terms."

Hearing that it was Pancho who asked her to do so, Talina remembered what Pancho said at the dinner that day.

She only said she would lend a hand, but she didn't say she would raise a daughter for him!

"He said you were a good man..."

Standing beside Talina, Candela looked at Rafiela who looked up in confusion.

"I also think so."

.........

"Well, she's yours, nephew. I wish you a happy life."

After handing the release documents to Talina, Candela looked at Rafiela, who was still handcuffed, standing in the distance with a smile on her face: "Just follow her from now on. As long as you behave yourself, your father and brother will be fine."

"Okay, you don't have to say that..."

Raising her hand to interrupt Candela, Talina didn't dare let her continue.

It already smells like human traffickers.

Add in the threat of using family members, and it becomes even more charged.

"Well..."

Rafiela, with messy hair, glanced at Candela, then at Talina, and nodded obediently as if she had recognized the reality.

"Alright, take her back. For the next few days, my nephew, just enjoy yourselves. Even though the Grand Prix is ​​over, Dosoles's enthusiasm won't diminish in the slightest."

After enthusiastically sending Talina out the door, Candela returned to her office and leaned lazily against the back of her chair.

"I've sent the person out to you. How's it going? Do you have any other requests..."

Looking up at the surveillance camera hidden in the corner of the office roof, Candela spoke to Pancho in prison.

Pancho stared at the office door that had just closed in a daze, and his whole body suddenly relaxed.

“No more…”

Now that his most beloved daughter is safe, he no longer has any weaknesses.

"I'm quite curious. She was the one who captured you, but you still handed Rafiela over to her. Aren't you afraid that she'll take revenge or something?"

Candela asked curiously, supporting her chin with her right hand, and was also a little surprised by Pancho's behavior.

Sending her daughter to a man she had only met for a few days would be a decision that even she would hesitate to make, but Pancho did it decisively.

"Hmph! Don't think everyone is the same as you, Candela..."

With a sneer, Pancho looked up at the only window of the cage. The dim setting sun was slanting down, becoming the only light he could see.

"As we have agreed between us, she... is a good person."

"Okay, I don't care if you're a good person or not. I just want to know if you're ready."

Candela interrupted Pancho impatiently and asked the question that concerned her most after being busy all night.

Hearing this, Pancho fell silent.

After a long time, two cold lights suddenly appeared in the darkness, accompanied by the sound of chains clicking.

The chains that bound Pancho's hands began to break, and a teeth-grinding sound echoed in the small cage.

With a threatening growl in his throat, Pancho stood up from his seat like a rabid dog about to escape from its cage.

With his freed hands, Pancho grabbed the iron rod in front of him, which was as thick as his wrist, and slowly pulled it to both sides.

"I lost to them, not you, Candela..."

"You want to put a chain on my head? Fine, but let me see if you have what it takes!!!"

boom! ! !

Under Pancho's constant tearing, the thick iron rod could no longer withstand the pressure and was torn apart by the brute force of the vicious dog in front of him.

call...

Even though freedom was right in front of him, Pancho didn't take a step forward.

He was waiting for Candela's response.

Hearing the sound of Pancho escaping on the other end, Candela was not panicked at all. She got up and took out a small can of coffee from her cabinet and leisurely made coffee.

"Then let's do as we agreed last night, Pancho..."

"Round 2..."

"here we go!"

Volume 6: Chapter 41: Ernesto: Are you standing me up?

"Will you hit me?"

"Won't..."

"Will you scold me?"

"Won't..."

"Will you bully me? For example, take off..."

"enough!!!"

Throwing the empty drink cup in her hand in annoyance, Talina turned around and looked at Rafiela who was following her pitifully, and a feeling of powerlessness came over her.

She was now beginning to regret taking on this trouble.

"I've already told you, I'm not a pervert, and I'm already married, so please don't put other labels on me!"

Putting her hands on Rafiela's face, Talina squeezed them together and repeated what she had said countless times before.

"I won't hit you, I won't scold you, I won't deny you food, and I won't ask you to warm the bed!"
