Rosalie was surprised. If her master had tracked her down all the way here, he would surely have noticed the signs of divine conflict among the gods. Given Sterl's cautious nature, it was unreasonable for him to come and check on the situation…
The joy she felt stemmed from her realization that the only reason her master would come here was due to her safety. Could it be that he cared about her that much? It couldn't possibly be because of Gloria; their relationship wasn't that deep.
"Do I... hold a significant place in my master's heart?"
"All this time, he looked at me with such hostility, as if I would be killed for inadvertently stumbling upon one of his secrets. It turns out that was just a facade."
"My master treats me like this, yet I often doubted his intentions. I really should be ashamed!"
The demigod girl felt a surge of emotion.
But in the next moment, a wave of panic washed over her. Saving herself? That was impossible!
