"Wh, What?! Katarina, you are an unmarried young woman, you cannot sleep under the same roof with another man, try to understand."
Said the old man as he jumped up, causing Katarina to sigh as she looked at me.
"Grandpa please… I'm exhausted from going through so much today. Can't you just give me a break?"
"Kat, your Grandpa at times does make a fuss, but this is an important issue. Yours and your siblings' safety is at stake."
The Grandma interjected softly as she clasped Katarina's hands with her wrinkled fingers.
Katarina smiled. "Thank you for your concern. It's okay, though. His weapons have been confiscated, and I have the confidence to protect myself as well as my brothers and sisters."
"Katarina, think again…"
The old couple persistently persuaded, but Katarina's determination was firm. At her insistence, the old couple had no choice but to back down.
"Alright… I see. Goddess, who can break your stubbornness? We'll be going then. Talk to us anytime if you need help."
