"How can they be so cruel!" Meliora shot up, her teeth gritted in anger. But remembering where she was, she couldn't entirely blame them. They took extreme measures in punishing people.
Take Kaid, for example. He loved slicing heads off. Every time she saw him in action, he was swinging his sword, hacking people's heads off like it was second nature.
"It's not cruelty; it's the only way to avoid calamity in our country. There is no safe space in this world, Princess Livia," he declared coldly. Meliora bit her bottom lip, frustrated. She wanted to retort but couldn't find the words.
"I understand," she muttered through clenched teeth. Showing off Crucifix was the first thing she wanted to do, but since no one here knew who she was or what Crucifix was, they'd easily kill her without a second thought.
She turned to Crucifix, who waved at her mechanically. Before she could speak, it was already ahead of her.
