"Oh, fuck! Why did you do that??" The thief ed his head in frustration He was a thief, not a killer Seeing someone die because of him didn't sit ith his conscience He fitted his teeth "It's only rily and then juirl based on his intuition It was already too dark to see anything

Fortunately, He was finally able to her before her body touched the river base The thief took Rowena's waist and carried her out of the river

Rowena's lashes fluttered Her head felt so heavy and painful and she grabbed her temples to rub them Then, she opened her eyes

"" She looked around and jumped in surprise to find himself in a shabby hut There was no one there Her clothes were da to her left She tried to re a lazy thief and ended up falling to the river Did someone save her? Where were Lady Liz, Jarvis, and the rest?

Rowena forced herself out of bed to approach the fireplace because her body felt so cold Above the fireplace was a pot of soup being cooked The smell of delicious soup wafted in the air and she suddenly realized she was really hungry

Rowena sat closer to warm herself Then, she checked her body carefully With the help of the light frorazes and bruises on her arms, hands, and feet

Rowena remembered that the slope by the river was rocky Perhaps, she was hurt when her body was rolling down the slope before it hit the water

She touched her wounds but didn't feel stinging pain She realized her injuries had been cleaned and treated with salve Ahh so someone must have saved her from the river and treated her She owed that person her life

She could guess that the person who saved herfrom the hut she was in now There was only one small wooden bed in the corner, a table with two spoons on it, two chairs, and a fireplace

Not far from the bed was a small old wooden cupboard which Rowena believed contained si to the owner of the hut

Rowena let out a long sigh damn, she shouldn't have chased the thief and just let the o It was not even much Now, this happened She was separated frouards They o and find them as soon as possible Her father ht and lose her She could iive theht never alloena to go out ever again No Rowena must not let it happen

"Why did you chase him, Rowena? You are dumb!" Rowena scolded herself She re

She didn't know It was not about the money It made her feel violated when someone could touch her personal property that she kept inside her pockets and took theh he didn't harass her or did anything inappropriate, Rowena felt so angryMaybe it was her pent-up frustration for not being able to do anything to the person who oppressed her and took control of her life and her body for years?

She didn't know

Rowena got up froh She wanted to find the person who helped her and then find a way to get back to Lady Liz soon

CREAK

Suddenly, the door to the hut was opened Rowena turned around to see who ca man walked in and halted his steps as soon as he saena look at hinized hiasped She tried to say so but she couldn't find her voice

So, she owed her life to the thief???

"Hi!" said the thief with a grin He took out a clean cloth from the table and wiped the bowl he had washed outside just now "You're awake"

Rowena still couldn't believe what she saw "Who are you?"

"Me?" The young man chuckled "My name is Julian Marlowe What's yours?"
