Ybur looked at Saraphido and suddenly felt a complex emotion.
Pity, perhaps?
It thought to itself, Zhuoer, too, were pitiful creatures, twisted by the harsh environment that shaped their awkward personalities. But wasn't it Zhuoer themselves who had created and perpetuated such a perilous environment? Now it felt pity for Saraphido, but perhaps Saraphido herself didn't think this way. After all, within her own family, wasn't she constantly scheming and on edge every day?
This thought made Ybur feel somewhat rueful; it extended a tentacle and patted Saraphido on the forehead, saying, "You... never mind, I won't say more. I possess the ability to kill you at any moment, which you surely know. Strive to show your value."
With nothing to weigh it down, on this side, after falling off the horse, Ybur actually felt a sense of "finally I don't have to pretend anymore."
Saraphido blinked and cautiously asked, "Then... Sir, can you tell me what exactly you want to do?"
How could I know?
