77 Returning to the Adventurers' Guild

"Anyways, the reason I cannot stay here and work for you is because I am already an Adventurer. I simply won't have the time." Leo said.

"If it's just that, you can be an Adventurer while working for me." Lia said.

"I know, but it just won't be the same… I care about my freedom above all. I don't like to be restricted, even if it's just a feeling. Furthermore, I have other things that I want to do. Maybe in the future I will change my mind and come work for you… If you're still willing to accept me at that time."

Lia closed her eyes and became silent for the next few moments.

Still with her eyes closed, she asked, "Is there really no way that I can make you stay with me?"

"I'm sorry…." Leo mentally prepared himself just in case Lia suddenly decided to stab her black dagger at him.
