If so, I want to talk to my little brother before I’m cut down. Can I at least ask him to grant safe passage for Sylphy and them out of the country, please? "
Ariel, said so in a low tone.
"Are you not going to ask me why?"
"Yeah."
I was saddened.
After everything that has happened I have no excuse, but she, Ariel, thought that I was betraying her.
The one who has been together with her for as long as I can remember,
The one who has served her so faithfully all these years,
The one who would gladly serve as her shield,
Even now, the first one that I've always though of is Ariel-sama.
She thought I was someone who would betray her at the last minute.
