Mikey(whisper): yeah going back to the castle is gonna make the shell a lot worse

Donnie(whisper): it's probably for the best we can find something more value & rare item to sell make some money

Raph(whisper): yeah if the king or no good princess try something funny then they have to deal with us plus they try to take raphtalia & us away

raphtalia(whisper): master naofumi I agree with them I don't want you to be mistreated we always be with you so please let not fall into the first princess trap

naofumi understand they saying, go back to the castle will make it worse probably make one of the heroes to fight him... he trust his friends more than anything so naofumi replied
