Don't you realize you have no value to him when he could just take another bunny beastman from your tribe and replace you as a maid?"
"T-that's not—"
"That is the truth," Long Xiurong interrupted. "You know that you're not important to him. You're just deluding yourself, thinking that you can be a hero somehow."
