Chapter 164: Win or Lose?
Ansu gazed silently at Freya.
After she spoke those words, those pale gold eyes watched him without wavering, her entire face filled with persistence, or perhaps... stubbornness.
"Freya..." Ansu was truly taken aback.
Was this still that kind, soft little Holy Maiden? Why was she being so assertive today... It was as if someone else was playing her character.
"Lord Ansu will agree, won't he?" Freya said softly. "You said it yourself; I've helped you so many times, yet you've never been able to help me with anything..."
"Ansu... aren't we good friends?" Freya lowered her head slightly, letting out a disappointed sigh. "But good friends should help each other and give to one another... If you refuse, I'll be very, very disappointed..."
Ansu watched the pink-haired girl before him with a complicated expression. If Freya encountered any trouble, he would help her no matter how difficult it was, but this request...
He was truly a bit resistant to any promise that involved the word "forever."
The atmosphere grew quiet once more.
