Chapter 932: One of the Traitors

"Renatta, please, take a moment to reconsider," I implored, my voice laced with concern. "I understand the pain of betrayal runs deep, but perhaps it's worth hearing them out, especially since they are your own spirits."

She turned to me with a fiery determination in her eyes, her voice resolute. "Manato, you know my stance on trust and betrayal. It's a line I've drawn in the sand, not just for people but for my spirits too. I've given them a good life, and they turned their backs on me the moment I disappeared."

Her words hit a chord within me, a reminder of my own past betrayal. I knew all too well the anguish that came with such treachery.
