Book 9: Chapter 37
“Tanya!”
After Tanya killed their commander, I led a heavy assault, causing the anthropoids to flee. I didn’t pursue them; instead, I dismounted to grab Tanya’s shoulder, as she was going to go after them.
Tanya looked at me, feeling slightly surprised, but she didn’t say anything; instead, she lowered her head with a nonchalant look.
“Your Majesty, Tanya is Socina City’s hero, please do not…”
“Don’t speak right now, Karana.”
I had no idea how violent my expression looked, but I saw Karana take two steps back, with a terrified look on her face. That made me realise just how frightening the expression I just looked at Tanya with was.
I took in a deep breath to ease my expression. I looked at Tanya and stroked her cheek, only to end up getting my hand covered in blood. I sighed, and then raised her small head up. Tanya resembled a doll that let me do as I pleased. She looked at me with her lifeless eyes. She didn’t show the disappointment or mellowness that I was worried she’d be feeling.
Perhaps she has no other thoughts other than to kill the anthropoids.
She was more similar to a machine than a kid.
