Bait

Within the hideout, the peaceful night went by.

Benjamin awoke the morning of the next day. The soldiers outside had left and so he was prepared to leave as well.

However, the unconscious Jessica has also woken up as well. She brought over Bernard to see Benjamin before he left, to thank him for his help the night before.

"Sir Benjamin, I’m really thankful for your help. We will most certainly cooperate as much as we can regarding your wishes."

Benjamin smiled and couldn’t help but ask, "Are you sure you’ve fully recovered?"

Jessica kneaded her temple, "I should be alright now. However... I’m not sure why but I feel nauseated since getting up this morning, like I was riding a horse all night."

"..."

Bernard who stood behind Jessica, carried a weird expression.

Benjamin expressionlessly nodded, "This is normal, and this symptom will quickly disappear. You need not worry about it."

Jessica felt it was odd but said nothing more.
