Kara's Resolve

After persuading his comrades, Kyle returned to Mia, who was waiting in the underground prison, and knelt before her.

"Mia-sama. We promise to act as you wish. However, there are only five of us. There is only so much we can do. Is that acceptable?"

"Yes, of course. I'm sorry for asking so much. But..."

"There is no need to apologize. If Romelia-sama were here, she would have given us the same order."

Kyle cut off Mia's apology.

Mia had told Kyle and the others to risk their lives, but at the same time, she had saved their dignity. If they had fled then, that escape would have become a lifelong stain, warping the futures of the five people there.

"However, the task we were ordered to perform is to rescue you. At the very least, we will complete that. Shuro, you must protect Mia-sama no matter what. Understood?"

Kyle ordered his comrade Shuro to guard Mia.

"Hide near the rear gate with Shuro. Open the rear gate and let the people escape. Flee with them, mixed into the crowd. Understood?"

"Understood. Thank you."...
