I know it's stupid, but I can't get over the fact that they're taking a fancy, impractical town carriage over rough mountain roads to hunt down bandits.
Big brother has good intentions, but he's really fuelling the misunderstanding...
Thank you for the chapter and for taking the time and effort to work on it. It's very much appreciated.
@WhoCares: Going by the raws, there's a translation mistake and he's actually saying that she can't stand seeing him (more specifically, that she isn't even able to make a sound when she sees him).
The eyes are mesmerizing. I can't stop staring at their different pupils (And Roxanne's occasional butterflies).
