I repeated my question several times, asking Serpina if she was truly serious.


    I had considered the possibility, but now that it had actually happened—


    I couldn’t believe it.@@@@


    "What would I possibly gain from lying to you?"


    Serpina smiled again.


    She wasn’t testing me—


    She wasn’t trying to provoke a reaction.


    “You have the look of a discarded hound.”


    “A hound...?”


    A deep sigh escaped me.


    “I doubt I was ever Lady Yuri’s hound to begin with.”


    The Aishus Five had a bond that no one could break.


    Yuri, Anima, Emma, Epinnel, Hernandorf.


    The entire foundation of Aishus was built upon those five.


    If I were to be honest with myself—


    I wasn’t particularly shocked.


    Nor was I about to lament about how my lord could do this to me.


    Because the truth was—


    I had never truly served her as my lord.


    Yuri had always been a temporary figure in my life.


    My loyalty had always belonged to Lunarian.


    So I had no intention of playing the tragic victim now.


    Doing so would be pathetic.
