I felt guilty, but it wasn’t like I could do anything. Han Sora and Jung Ha-Yan had gotten closer than I initially expected, and I knew that she had been really helpful in controlling Jung Ha-Yan’s temper.

She could calm Jung Ha-Yan, and she was like a preventive measure that prevented Jung Ha-Yan from reaching her boiling point. I couldn’t help but be reminded of my old self upon thinking that Han Sora was doing all that for herself, not for the continent.

I was really impressed by how she could convince Jung Ha-Yan to calm down and turn her attention elsewhere. In other words, she was a valuable individual capable of comforting a friend in distress.

Besides Park Deok-Gu, Kim Hyun-Sung, and me, Jung Ha-Yan didn’t open up, but they became close enough for her to open up to her, so it’s safe to assume that Han Sora’s safety won’t be threatened. Obviously, unexpected accidents can happen, but…

‘Her life won’t be in danger, and she’s getting paid.’

She had a base salary as stipulated in her contract, but if the bonuses I had been giving her were included, then she had the highest salary in the Blue Guild.

I started nitpicking...
