Chapter 216: Farewells With Adofu
Ch. 216 Farewells With Adofu
Adofu headed towards where Haranae’s execution site was and brought me along with him. No one was there at the site as everyone had seemingly taken refuge after the hero’s death.
There were three knights under the shade of a building. Although their bodies trembled in fear when I looked at them, they gave off no signs that they were going to draw their swords. Behind the three knights was Ball Rabbit, and with Ball Rabbit was… Nina. She was safe and sound with not a single scratch on her.
The three knights had probably been protecting her for me on Adofu’s instructions.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Although Adofu’s imprisoned relatives should’ve also been there with them, it would seem that they had already taken shelter.
“…You’re Mr. Dragon…, right?”
Nina brought her eyes up to my face. Partner reached her head out and tried to get out in front of me, so I lightly headbutted her to keep her from doing that. For now, I need you to go sit in the back for me. We look too much alike. Well, actually… You might also be me too…
“Thank you, Mr. Dragon. Thank you so very much, Nya! Even though Nina is just a slave that was also abandoned by her parents… To do this for something like Nina, this is too…”
Before Nina could finish what she was saying, she broke down crying and crouched down into a ball, her head buried between her knees. I gently stroked Nina’s head with my forefoot so that I didn’t pierce her with my claws. I stroked her so gently that I couldn’t tell whether I was touching her or not.
