[Ch.65] As the Water God Commands

Panzram cut in abruptly, "It's not ours."

The child looked at him with large doe eyes then back to Ryu.

Ryu laughed in amusement, "We saved him from a battle. He's with us for now, but we are searching for a safe place where he can grow up without the Taira clan knowing."

Her drooping blue eyes shimmered as she looked at the child, "I see… Then… Could I take that child?"

Panzram asked in suspicion, "Why do you want him?"

She spoke calmly, "I quite like children and I do owe it to you. If you want a safe and isolated place, my village is ideal."

"I don't trust you." Panzram stated firmly.

Despite being cold about the child moments before, now he was acting like an overprotective father.

Ryu chuckled silently then rubbed Panzram's shoulder gently to reassure him.
