Chapter 283: Close Protection
After Freya learned of the potential killing intent Ansu might face, she spent the following days transformed into a literal bodyguard, staying by his side every second.
And by close, it was in the most literal sense of the word.
As the two of them walked back to the camp, Ansu glanced sideways at the tense little Holy Maiden beside him. She was gripping his arm tightly, her body pressed so closely against his that they were practically joined at the hip.
Ansu spoke helplessly, "Freya... you really don't need to stay this close."
But Freya shook her head firmly, her small face set in a determined line. "No! This is for your safety. I won't leave your side for even half a step!"
As she spoke, she scanned their surroundings with sharp, vigilant eyes.
It was as if every Stayans in the camp who offered a friendly greeting might suddenly reveal themselves to be an assassin.
Lord Ansu's situation was dangerous; he had to be protected by her and her alone!
After all, in this divine realm, Gulzan was a god-like existence. The two of them were fighting against the malice of an entire world.
