"I-I-I want to be useful to you too, Lord Elish!"
Ever since Astra blurted out those words, Elish had been unable to stop thinking about them.
'Interesting…' He could only watch her in silence as he watched the tears forming in her eyes glitter as she opened her lips once more.
"Ever since I met you, you've been nothing but kind to me. Even though I know you do not treat others the same way. Others like Flora have suffered at your hands, yet you still choose to help me. I mean, I attacked you too. I ran from you. I don't deserve this special treatment from you! I just want to repay your kindness to me. I know right now I'm useless, so I want to become someone you can use…" She cried out, tears glistening in her eyes as a brilliant smile consumed her face.
"... Someone who can help you too!"
Elish had to admit… he appreciated the sentiment.
