Glancing faintly at Liora's back—who seemed to be her last pillar of hope—the blonde woman hesitated for a brief moment before finally asking:
"Lord, can—can you save them?", she requested, and her blue eyes grew increasingly teary as she spoke.
Coupled with her overall messy appearance, the woman looked extremely pitiful.
Just a mere glance at her would have been more than enough to charm any hero in the stories that the bards sang about.
Unfortunately for her, she was not facing a hero at the moment.
Facing her request, Liora didn't even turn around.
She shook her head indifferently and, with her hands still clasped behind her back, answered:
"No, there are far more important things to do."
Although the woman wanted to continue pleading, she soon thought of something—or rather someone—and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Seeing this, Liora was quite pleased.
