Pst, over here

As I stood outside the room, I couldn't help staring at the door that had been closed behind me.

As I stood there, I really didn't know what to do.

After all, meeting the count and hoping that I would be able to borrow some of his men was my final resort.

There was the option of using that money to hire mercenaries in the city, but the moment that I did that and the count found it, it would be considered hostility towards the count. And there wasn't any noble that I was close to in the city that I could borrow men from either…

So now I was just stuck here with nothing to do.

The most logical plan now was to leave this place since I had already achieved what I wanted to achieve by buying the food and supplies, but there was a part of me that didn't want to leave.

After all, there was the side quest that I wanted to finish.
