Chapitre 144: Deus Vult

(Manami POV)

I followed behind Lian Li as we led the Adventurer's towards the slavers' camp. Master had told Kiyomi to stay behind and look after Cai Hong, so she was exempted from this punishment.

I shivered slightly at the memory of Master looking at us back at the camp.

There was no anger nor any form of disgust in his eyes.

It was that slight tinge of disappointment that we saw deep within those orbs of his that made my legs go weak. The knowledge that it was us who had hurt Master in some way was mortifying.

I never want to see those eyes from Master ever again.

When Master had sacrificed himself for us before returning from the dead, the first thing he did was to check if we were all safe before reassuring us of his well being.

When Master was taken by that crazy fox stalker of mine, he returned to us with a mouthful of apologies when it was no fault of his.
