Capturing Kaarle
After the two finished their breakfast, they went together to find Bertram. On the way, they encountered Arthur. Upon learning Sophie had rescued Felix, Arthur was happy for her.
“Ms. Tanner, since you’ve saved the man you were looking for, you should return quickly. Fandar is really dangerous now.” Arthur knew Sophie was capable, but she was still a girl no matter what, so she shouldn’t experience those things.
“Mr. Camidge, you helped me, so I must get rid of Kaarle, Otherwise, you won’t have a peaceful life in the future.” Sophie wasn’t going to leave them with that trouble.
“Ms. Tanner, you don’t need to do these things for us. We have lived on this land for our entire lives, so we naturally have our own ways to survive. Even if Kaarle is gone, there will be others like him, isn’t it? Ultimately, we still have to rely on ourselves, so she doesn’t have to go to such lengths for us.
“Mr. Camidge, you don’t need to say more. I’m not doing this entirely for you. Kaarle harmed our man, too, so we have to avenge him.” She didn’t want Arthur to bear the heavy psychological burden.
“Ms. Tanner…” Arthur knew she was actually doing that for them.
“We can never repay your great kindness in this lifetime.” Tears streamed down Arthur’s face. Many people thought poorly of Fandar, but it was still their home, after all.
They cherished everything there.
“Mr. Camidge, don’t worry. In the future, the social order here will gradually improve. As long as there’s someone capable to maintain control, this place will get better.”
“Okay, Ms. Tanner. Please be careful.”“ Arthur watched them leave.
Along the way, discomfort churned within Sophie as she took in the living condition of the people there.
“It will get better, Tristan said. He decided they should maintain the order there since that was indeed a very profitable place anyway.
They could make money and provide a relatively good living environment for the locals. That was the only thing they could do.
“Yes,”
Sophie held his hand. We aren’t saviors, but we can do our best to improve the quality of life of these people.
Sophie and Tristan found Bertram. They were outside Kaarle’s military base while the guards had already
gone in.
“Mr. Tristan, the guards have entered. They will capture Kaarle.” Since those mercenaries were dead, Kaarle couldn’t possibly cause too much trouble.
“All right. We can just wait here.” Tristan had full confidence that the guards he trained could apprehend Kaarle. There was no need for them to take action personally.
“Have some water.” When they came out earlier, Tristan had brought along a thermos. He figured Sophie
would feel better drinking water on such a hot day.
Sophie shook her head.
She didn’t have the slightest urge to drink hot water when the weather was scorching. Instead, she wanted to have some nice, cold ice cream, but her period was approaching, so she couldn’t eat ice cream at that time.
“Mr. Tristan. I’ll go in and take a look,” Bertram said.
Tristan and Sophie didn’t do anything in particular when they were together, but Bertram inexplicably felt like they were flaunting their relationship.
“All right. Go ahead.”
Sophie sat inside the off-road vehicle. She didn’t want to go out because the sun was blazing outside. In addition, she hadn’t slept last night, so she was getting a little drowsy.
“Take a nap if you’re tired. I’ll take care of matters here. We can go back together later.”
“Okay” Sophie shut her eyes to get some rest.
At that moment, upon learning some outsiders had infiltrated his military base, Kaarle immediately took his weapon and came out. He wanted to put up a resistance, but the difference in strength between both parties was insurmountable.
