Chapter 1642
“Chance!”
“Y-yes, leader!” Chance jumped to attention as First barked her name.
“Report.”
“I’ve kept successful watch over my lord for the last week. He is healthy and safe.” Chance was nearly shaking as she was under the predatory gaze of her big sisters, specifically first.
First narrowed her eyes, looking at Chance very acutely. Just when I thought Chance was going to pass out, First stood back to attention.
“Good job! Back in line!” First declared.
She didn’t give a smile or any indication that she was pleased by Chance’s progress, but by the looks of the sisters behind her, that was probably the most compliment she’d receive. However, rather than moving immediately, Chance glanced over at me and Cici uncertainly.
“Chance…” Cici looked at Chance a bit sadly.
The two girls had been traveling together for a while now, and they had formed a bit of a sisterly bond as well. This bond was different than the one between the lionesses. They had an extremely territorial hierarchy, but her friendship with Cici was gentler and more loving. I could see the reluctance in both of their faces to be broken up.
“What are you doing?” First’s expression started to darken at Chance’s seeming defiance.
I cleared my throat. “Chance has been in my party for a bit now. I’ve been personally training her. I think, if you see her levels, you will see that.”
I didn’t lie. I had taken her to give her some experience, and the time through the dungeon had leveled her up quite a bit. My multipliers didn’t hurt too bad either. Few low-level soldiers got the chance to take only level 50 bosses with an experience multiplier, so such a leveling was nearly unheard of.
