"I know that Rosaya and the others went too far in the past. Whatever compensation you want, as long as it's not excessive, I can repay the grievances you've suffered over the years. You're about to marry into the Dragon Clan, and I have friends there who can help you in the future."

Since we can't use a hard approach, we can only use a soft approach.

Hearing this, Lumina raised her eyebrows and asked, "Help?"

"What is the extent of your help? Are you going to give me some gold, silver, and jewelry, or potions and magic scrolls?"

Hogami knew that she was the smart person who had been dormant before and was not easy to fool. He thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"I'll give you five first-level silver guards, ten second-level silver guards, and ten bottles of 99% purity potion. As for the dragon clan, if you're in danger, I can send someone to help you twice."

This is the best offer he can make.

Lumina listened, but she just found it funny. This little thing was supposed to buy back the humiliation she had endured for twenty years. She lazily raised her eyelids and looked at Hogami mockingly.

"You want to get rid of me with just this little thing? It seems that in your eyes, Rosaya is only worth this little thing."

As she spoke, Lumina didn't know what image emerged in her mind. Her fingertips pinched white, and her eyes, which had been smiling just now, suddenly turned cold.

"If you want to save Rosaya, fine, then you can use your life in exchange."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be unable to control her emotions, afraid that she would reveal some flaws. Lumina didn't care about Hogami's situation, she simply lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage, clenching her right hand so hard that her knuckles almost turned white.

No one can be betrayed again and again, and she will no longer have any kindness in her heart. After all, she has struggled to survive nightmares again and again, and the kindness she has is long gone.

Seeing her sudden change of mood, Hogami frowned in thought with only the lowered curtain in front of him.

It was time for a break, and there was no point in delaying any further, so he had to leave the carriage and lead the team forward, letting Lumina think it over carefully.
