All of their eyes were glued to his figure, desperate for his words. Rahu opened his mouth.
"Azaria!"
"Master?" Azaria looked at Rahu, her heart skipping a beat.
Without looking back, he said, "Go regroup with Karma. Find Seris and Zira as well."
Saying that he finally met her eyes. And spoke, "Not a single hair on my women's heads is to be harmed. See to it."
"MASTER!?"
"R-RAHU! Y-YOU IDIOT?"
"N-NO! I won't leave you alone!"
One by one, the women stepped forward and spoke, their voices trembling. Lirae's and Larae's eyes started watering. And for the first time, Thalia felt a foreign emotion bloom in her heart. His words were like daggers, and she felt her heart bleed.
Lucy was almost on the verge of crying. She rushed forward and began punching his chest and pulling his hand. Anaria stayed quiet on the side. But the slight clench on her fists betrayed her character.
Rahu ignored all of them and just stared at Azaria. Seeing this, Azaria took a deep breath.
