Chapter 1128. Approaching (3)
“If you were in my shoes, what would you have done? Choose annihilation just so that you can hold on to your worthless pride? Or protect the Round Table, even if it means you must swallow your pride and act like someone's pet dog?”
“...”
The Master narrowed his eyes. “I already told you this, didn’t I? That we’re bees? No, not bees, but hornets. We might not pose any danger to Kang Jin-Ho, but we can certainly be a dangerous entity to the people around him. To his eyes, we must’ve looked like hornets targeting his precious daughter.”
Besley couldn’t help but chuckle helplessly at that analogy. Hornets buzzing around Kang Jin-Ho’s daughter, was it...?
He was dismayed by the fact that the once-mighty Round Table was no more threatening than a hornet’s nest to some people.
The Master continued to speak in the meantime. “Yes, I understand that you’re displeased by the notion of being reared as someone’s pet. You probably don't want to accept it, never mind go along with it.”
“No, sir. It’s not to that extent. It’s the reality of our situation, after all.”
“You say that, but is your heart truly ready to accept?”
Besley couldn’t immediately respond.
The Master was right once more. There was only one answer here, and that was, “Yes, I have understood and accepted it, sir.”
However, dissatisfaction with how this situation turned out continued to well up in Besley’s heart.
“Sir Besley, do you know what the difference is between us and dogs? Or hornets?”
