However, her words were interrupted by Matthew.
Matthew asked with a look of astonishment,
"You don't mean to say that he just rushed over wanting to help me chop up Fishmen, do you?"
Annie really wanted to say that.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it.
She hesitated for a moment and then gritted her teeth, saying,
"That's not it."
"But Ruiqi really meant no harm to you; she just really likes you and wanted to rescue you from the Fishmen..."
Matthew wasn't buying that:
"Rescue?"
"Then train me to be a Male Slave, right?"
Because of his previous experience searching for ancient airs, Matthew was very familiar with the customs and traditions of the Troll Empire.
He knew very well that the life of someone "rescued" by two such domineering princess heroes was unlikely to be particularly enviable.
This time,
Annie didn't argue.
She spoke with a calm tone:
"Regardless, she didn't truly harm you, and this is essentially a misunderstanding."
