Chapter 249: Dungeon Master (7)

Ah, acting was harder than I expected—.
I was lying still on the bed. Gamigin was next to me trying to muffle her crying. It sounded like she couldn’t hold back her tears. If I were to compare this sound to something, then it was like a soothing lullaby.
She probably didn’t know that I was awake.
I actually never lost consciousness to begin with. It was quite pleasant and relaxing being practically carried all the way here by Gamigin.
I had a feeling that Gamigin’s stress had been building up drastically lately. People aren’t machines. No matter how fair the trade is, people always want to receive the utmost respect and, at the very least, don’t want to get knocked down a peg in front of others.
Even if that was the path they chose to take.
No, if anything, the fairness itself might’ve been the problem……. Gamigin is the Rank 4 Demon Lord. She might think that having a fair deal with a person like me is, on the contrary, unfair.
People tend to easily forget the times when they were weak. There was probably a time when Gamigin was also the lowest rank. Nonetheless, after a few centuries of being an authority figure, people inadvertently start thinking to themselves, ‘I’m not insignificant enough to be disregarded like this. I should be treated better than this…….’
