Just after he had left, Eden returned.
"What are you doing?"
Arsia grabbed his sleeve and asked.
"Nothing."
Having said that, Eden pulled away from Arsia, took out the roasted bread and water pouch from his arms, and walked onto the wooden platform under the suspicious gazes of the guards.
"This sir..."
A guard came forward to stop him.
Eden waved his hand and asked,
"Has the Governor ever said that feeding prisoners is not allowed?"
The guard shook his head,
"He hasn't said that, it's just... it's not common."
Eden pointed to Timian, whose voice was hoarse and could no longer shout,
"In that case, let me feed him and quench his thirst, 'When one does a righteous deed, how can others stop him?'"
Eden cited Scripture, rendering the guard speechless for a moment. The guard could only step back a few paces, watching Eden vigilantly, preventing him from helping the prisoner escape.
Arsia silently watched this scene unfold.
