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.
