The escort mission continued for several more days, but the rumours had already spread.
This was a small caravan in the first place, so it really didn't take long for the rumours to spread.
Once they spread, everyone started looking at me with strange looks that brought a bitter smile to my face.
Only if I were to explain it, it would only make things worse.
The adventurers showed that they were on my side no matter what happened, but it was clear that they also had other thoughts. It seemed that they thought that I had sacrificed something important when I met with Rothchild.
There were the kinds of looks that I didn't want cast in my direction, but I couldn't say anything else since it would make things worse.
This continued until finally…
"We're going to take a break."
When this was announced, everyone turned to look at me again.
After all, the place that we were taking a break was in the middle of nowhere just like before.
