Rhode furrowed his brows and shook his head slightly at Lize's disappearance. Then, he landed back on the ground and realized that Anne was looking at him with a pale complexion.

"L-Leader, did Anne… Anne do something that Lize dislike? Why…"

The innocent and cheerful young lady appeared really depressed. Her body was trembling slightly as she clasped her shield as though she would fall without this support. Rhode had rarely seen Anne behaving in this manner. However, Rhode understood why she felt this way. After joining Starlight, Anne had the closest relationship with Lize. Their relationship had always been great and Anne was always the one responsible for protecting Lize and her subordinates. They had never quarreled. But now, it was no wonder that Anne suffered such a huge blow after Lize had berated her. Anne was innocent but wasn't a dummy, after all. It was apparent that Lize had some opinions about her.
