Rinley has yet to enjoy all the attention when she was picked up by her uncle with one hand on her bottom and another supporting his back.

Rinley's face reddened in shame and buried her face in her uncle's neck. Its one thing to be carried around like a child while inside the clan. But in front of the crowd? This is very ungenius like. ヘ(￣ー￣ヘ)

However, her uncle thought it was because Rinley was not feeling well and immediately ordered the inn manager to prepare a room.

It has been three hours since Rinley has been pretending to sleep while imagining about her plans. After her escape, she will go to the largest store in the capital to buy a weapon, some pills and other miscellaneous things.

However, her foremost problem right now is her uncle. She thought he will let her rest alone after feigning sickness. But no, he is watching her in bed like a hawk.

How is she going to escape then?

Rinley's back is beginning to stiffen. She really can't remain motionless anymore and was forced to move Rinley opened her eyes, making it appear as blurry as possible. She got to act the muddleheaded girl. ಡ_ಡ

Seeing that Rinley stirred from her sleep, her uncle immediately turned to her while chirping endlessly.

"Rinley are you okay? Do you still feel nauseous? Where do you feel unwell?"

"Hungry..." she whispered.

Her voice was almost inaudible but Aunt Rose appeared out of nowhere carrying a hot bowl of nutritious soup and some fruits. A small table was put in her bed in no time.

Rinley was just about to grab the spoon when her uncle has beaten her to it. Leo very naturally fed her spoonful by spoonful. Cooling the soup and raising it to her mouth in a very practiced manner.

Rinley just automatically opened her mouth until the soup is finished. In her mind, she is still busy thinking on how to escape.

However, in the filter of his uncle's eyes, she looked dazed and tired.

"You can continue your rest. It's already dark, we will head out tomorrow morning," Leo said with a hint of pity.

His voice brought Rinley back from her musings and she was momentarily startled.

Why stay? Its not even noon yet. They can still make it to the next city if they resume their journey now that she's awake.

Rinley looked at his uncles expression and had a sudden enlightenment. It must be because she's a genius! Her uncle must pity those youngsters here with very lousy talents. Staying here for a day here will be good to inspire the youths who wanted to cultivate. Really, that must be it.

(Author: Duh, they don't even know you.)

Rinley's mood suddenly soared, all the fruits in the plate were swept clean by her in no time.
