"Why didn't you kill him?"
An eerie voice echoed across a small room.
With my head lowered, I replied.
"Did I have to kill him? ...If so, I do apologize for my actions."
In the two days since my fight with Lightning Dragon, I had essentially recovered from all of my wounds. Some parts of my body were still sore, but that was just about it.
Regarding where I was...
It was Duke Anozech's private area.
"No, you don't have to be sorry."
In the aftermath of my fight with Lightning Dragon, it seemed that I had finally caught the Duke's attention.
Which was something that I desired from the very beginning.
He was instrumental in my inevitable escape.
"...Rather, you did me a favor by not killing him."
Lifting my head slightly, I raised my brow.
My head lowered once more when I saw the look on his face.
"Is that so? …then I'm flattered."
"...I'm starting to like you more and more."
