"A stranger did." He replied looking boldly at her.
"You just took help from a woman you don't even know?" Rose asked in disbelief.
"Yes and at least she helped us!" He snapped back at Rose. "We came to the Royal physicians. They turned us down. We pay taxes even though we have nothing and we couldn't be helped!"
Rose was taken aback and still in disbelief that the Royal Physicians didn't help them.
"We pay taxes and our own leaders won't help us." He exclaimed in a fit of rage. "What did you expect us to do? Watch our little girl die in pain?"
Rose nodded and sighed to herself.
"I am sorry that you went through what you did." She explained. "Truly I am. I wasn't aware that things were this bad."
"Did you see this village we in when you were coming in?" He asked. "Did you see how poor we are? We have nothing. Absolutely nothing."
