Ashies was under a curse that made deep thought difficult, but even before that, she was never someone known for quick thinking.

By nature, Ashies had a leisurely disposition—not just in personality, but in mind as well. Understanding things always took her time.

Now was no exception.

"Shall we wrap things up here?"

Karami’s words were utterly incomprehensible to her.

Wrap up what?

Ashies tilted her head, weighed down by confusion.

Karami began to explain in simpler terms, ensuring Ashies could understand.

"You’ve regained your emotions, haven’t you?"

Nod.

"And your memories too?"

Another nod.

"You defeated Skadia and even regained warmth."@@novelbin@@

Once again, Ashies nodded.

Karami smiled, a proud expression on his face.

"All the shackles that were holding you down have been broken. It means all the conditions for your complete liberation have been fulfilled."

"...?"

"To put it simply, you no longer need to remain my slave."

Even then, Ashies couldn’t understand. Being a slave or not wasn’t something she considered particularly important.

However, a creeping sense of unease began to rise, like smoke curling upward. What had seemed natural might no longer be so.

"There’s no need to be too afraid, Frostbite. Reaching complete liberation means you can now move forward on your own, even without me."
