Re''Kha excused herself from the conversation, opening the door to see the servant standing outside, carrying a cotton bag. Through her Wind Qi perception, Re''Kha peered inside, noticing it contained three sets of clothes, all in the style of the Re n.
The servant made a respectful bow as she handed the bag over, "Mydy, since your clothes got dirty, we brought you a new set of clothes."
Re''Kha sighed helplessly; the servant didn''t hint anything about the payment. She realised it was the inn owner''s way of showing his gratitude. Just his actions alone showed how much he valued his life. The quality of the clothes was no inferior to the ones she wore in her n, showing the price the inn owner forked over without the slightest hesitation.
Each cloth cost 100 RuQi, a significant sum considering it was enough to feed a person for a month. Even considering the luxurious inn he was running, it was a significant sum to fork over. The prices of the room were expensive, costing 10 RuQi per day. But, the number of servants hired were too many.
Considering their wages, the profit lining up in his pockets, though significant wasn''t arge sum. Moreover, it seemed like the inn owner didn''t wish to stop at this point. Re''Kha didn''t wish to take advantage of his generosity, for it wasn''t as if she had saved everyone on her own.
She then noticed Ki''Nha wear a helpless expression, realising that she too had received simr treatment. Re''Kha took the bag and smiled, "Tell the owner that I am thankful for his consideration."
The servant then bowed towards the three Royal ndies, "The doors of the rooms have been fixed. Please forgive us for the dy."
"It''s fine," Ki''Nha waved her hand, "We were the ones who had broken them in the first ce."
Ki''Nha took the keys from the servant, stealthily pocketed one key, and turned around, ring at the three children that had been sitting silent all along. Re''Kha smiled, knowing what wasing next as she closed the door, taking a seat in the nearby chair.
The three children flinched at her re; Ki''Nha spoke with an admonishing tone, "The three of you almost died today. We had advised you many times that beyond the n was a dangerous ce. A Sha had attacked this inn. If it wasn''t because we were coincidentally heading towards the market and chanced upon it, we wouldn''t have noticed you. You understand what this means right?"
"Sorry mother," Burfuna Ki''Nua apologised, bowing her head, expressing that she was sorry. The other two Royal ndies didn''t say anything from the start, silently ring at their respective daughters to add to the mental pressure.
"Sneaking out of the n itself is a punishable offence. Coming without any bodyguards is stupid." Ki''Nha looked angry, disying her frustration. Through experience, Re''Kha judged that she was just faking it. Their previous conversation also proved it.
Ki''Nha just wanted her children to realise the severity of the situation so that they would be wiser in the future. She scolded them for some more time, stopping when she noticed the message had sunk into them, "Alright, the three of us are in the middle of work, so we have to leave now. We''ll return in the morning and pick you up. Until then, stay obediently in your rooms, alright?"
"Yes," The three children collectively replied as they were led into their room. As the three Royal ndies watched their children behave obediently, they closed the door after a couple of words of advice.
"We''ll be in our room. If an emergency happens, please contact us. I''ll apany you to the hospital in the morning. Sorry to bother you." Ki''Nha whispered, winking to show that her kids might disturb herter during the night. She had noticed them shoot nces at the bag of Re''Kha. So, she was sure they would knock on her door to satiate their curiosity.
"Please, you don''t have to worry. I am travelling without any schedules, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I''ll be more than happy to share some of my travels with them." Re''Kha smiled, watching them return to their room stealthily. They ensured their children didn''t notice they were staying right in the next room.
"I''ll take a bath," Re''Kha sighed, feeling her body tremble under the cold. It was better now, aspared to before when she was in the presence of the Blinded Ghost. But she was still freezing over. She had been enduring all along, waiting until they left.
She didn''t wish to take a bath while leaving them in the living room with her bag. They didn''t look like the type to pry into the belongings of others, but she didn''t wish to take any chances. Their duration of contact was short, so she hadn''t grasped their characters yet.
"The clothes the owner gave are really nice," Re''Kha smiled, heading to the bathroom to take a bath. She opened the hot water tap, adjusting the temperature in the bathtub as the cold water fell at a steady stream. When it was sufficiently warm, she entered it, moaning in pleasure as the heat rxed her muscles, reducing the chillness she was feeling.
''What is the reason I am feeling this chill?'' Re''Kha wondered, unable to point out the cause. ''Did it do something to me when it stole my eyes?''
She was disappointed that she hadn''t been able to get her eyes back. But Re''Kha knew that they would cross paths soon. They had shed numerous times in the past two years and were bound to sh once again in the future.
Also, just the fact that her eyes hadn''t been destroyed relieved her. As the Blinded Ghost had used a mysterious method to steal her eyes, there was a chance she would regain her sight once she snatched her eyes from it.
''I hope thates true.'' Re''Kha sighed, rxing in the bath as she felt drowsy. She had woken up in the middle of her sleep after all. Sometimeter, she heard a knock, causing her tough as she exited the bathtub, drying herself with a towel as she wore a new set of clothes.
Re''Kha adjusted her appearance and opened the door, watching the expected visitors standing in front with expressions of curiosity.
