Particular Reason
"Yes, Lord Raphael." Once Raphael changed the topic, the village chief, Rauan, raised his head. "First of all, we thanked you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to live in this place."
"Thank you very much!" Then the three of them bowed their heads deeply as they uniformly and sincerely appreciated the kindness of Raphael.
"Not a problem." Raphael casually remarked. "I am just helping the ones in need. And no need to prostrate yourselves that much; lift your heads up."
After heartfully expressing their gratitude, they held their heads up. Their movements were timid, especially Taris's, but they were trying their best not to show their quivers to them.
"You are here not only to express your gratitude, yes? If you have something to say, you are allowed to."
"Verily, Lord Raphael," Rauan continued. "Actually, we are here to inquire about our responsibilities for living here."
