Chapter 518: Jeci's Growth

"Your Highness!"

Jeci staggered to her feet, only to drop to one knee as Northern's feet touched the ground.

"Really, you should pity yourself sometimes," Northern said, his gaze settling gently on her with a hint of sympathy.

Black Mamba was also on both knees, paying absolute obeisance to his master.

Strangely, Northern didn't mind it when Black Mamba or Night Terror did this; in fact, he expected it of them.

However, when humans did it…

'Is it because of the void?' he wondered.

To be honest, he still harbored doubts about Jeci. After all, she was human, and humans were true only to their desires.

He wasn't questioning her loyalty right now—Jeci's desire was to serve him—but what would happen when that changed?

She might begin to distance herself, looking for a reasonable way to break away from him without causing harm.
