After helping Adrian find his shoe, we returned to my town with the entire group.
Once we arrived, I headed straight to check on Anna while the others settled in the sitting room. She was still sleeping peacefully.
"Rose!!" I called out. A few minutes later, she appeared.
"Can you check up on my—"
Before I could finish, Rose suddenly jumped back and summoned her cursed whip, startling me.
"It's him!!!" she shouted. "He needs to die!!"
She cracked the whip toward the bed, but I caught it just before it could strike Anna. I gripped it tightly, quickly enhancing my strength with my buff skill to match hers.
"What's the meaning of this, Rose?!" I barked in frustration.
"That's that bastard! I can smell his filthy scent!" she snarled, yanking the whip from my grip. Her face twisted with rage.
