"Do you want to take back your words?"
Roxanna quickly shook her head. "No, no, no! I won't take them back!" She let out a small sigh before adding, "If I make a promise, I'll keep it. I won't go back on my word, so you don't have to worry!"
She bit her lower lip and instinctively reached for Luan and Zeir's hands, holding them tightly to calm herself down.
She wanted to say more, but when she looked at the faces of the Vixeria Tribe people, her chest tightened. In the end, she didn't have the heart to make them wait any longer than they already had.
[Ah… they all look like good people, though,] Roxanna said in her mind. [But still… I have to consider what Luan said earlier.]
When Roxanna stayed silent, Luan stepped in. "Don't worry," he said calmly. "Our Leader will free all of you. But unfortunately, she can't do it all at once."
Grandma Mia, who was standing closest to them, asked, "Why not?"
