"I never intended to go against you, Master, not even in my dreams." She lightly shook her head.
Lilith's voice carried no hesitation. It was laced with absolute loyalty and an unwavering devotion for her Master—that reflected clearly in her blood-red eyes, even I noticed that.
A warm smile spread across Nathalia's lips. She didn't say anything, but the way she looked at Lilith, though blindfolded, felt almost affectionate.
'What exactly is the relation between these two?'
But that didn't answer my question.
If she was this loyal to her master, then—
Why did she do that to the Defender?
He was someone who wouldn't dare to attract any unnecessary trouble towards him.
But before I could voice my own thoughts, Nathalia spoke again.
Her voice now lost its previous warmth.
"Explain why you went against my order."
Her tone was sharp, her words carrying the weight of the authority she held.
The air around me grew heavier, as if the room itself bent under her presence.
