Felt returned soon after, naturally bringing good news. However, Felt looked puzzled.
"It's hard to believe that Rom agreed so readily."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"In the past, whenever I said I wanted to be an adventurer, Rom would scold me fiercely, saying that dying in the slums is better than dying in the wild, at least he could help bury me."
"Well, that's true."
Although Fang Zheng didn't know who "Rom" Felt was referring to, he guessed it must be the person who raised her.
"But this time, when I mentioned that I wanted to avoid the Royal Selection involving the Dragon Witch, Rom agreed very readily and even entrusted you to look after me well."
Felt couldn't believe it. She knew how much Rom had cared for her, and to be honest, she understood that he wasn't wrong. Even though the slums were not a great place, they were still better than being an adventurer living in the wild.
