[Bonus chapter]The truth

One, two, three, four, five.... Hmm!! If I keep on counting like that, why don't I just build a whole harem!!

No.

I mentally shook my head at such thoughts.

It would take time. For now, I have to work on my strength and filter out those like knight Camille who hid and disguised their venomous fangs while standing beside me.

Doing this all won't be easy however I have to start from somewhere first.

"No, I have no reason to mock you. How could I mock a Knight that is currently mortified and horrified by the world around her, knowing that she would never be able to pick up a sword again and that her whole life of training didn't matter... A Guardian Knight who has failed to fulfil her duties -A traitor…."

I grabbed her chin with my fingers as she stubbornly tried to shake it off, yet I persisted until she became still.

"...A woman who knows that her world is about to end without anything meaningful being left behind. You see, there is nothing worth mocking about you".
