Mere Han Jiang

Bronya hesitated slightly.

Seele looked as though she wanted to slam the table, but in the end, she merely laid her palm flat beside the dessert and said to Han Jiang, "Seele can protect Bronya."

"Don't make trouble."

Han Jiang rejected Seele outright.

Seele was not weak. She could go toe-to-toe with a Dominance Herrscher's clone and had even slain one.

But each individual Dominance Herrscher was not particularly strong. Any other Herrscher could take her on one-on-one with ease.

Who knew which Herrscher this newly appeared one might be—the Flame Herrscher, the Death Herrscher, the Erosion Herrscher, the Constraint Herrscher, or perhaps some Herrscher that nobody even knew what the hell it was.

Wait! The Death Herrscher?

Before Han Jiang arrived, there had already been rumors that Seele might be the Death Herrscher. If that was true, then Seele was currently the greatest danger.

"Seele, stay by my side for the time being. Bronya needs to take care of Rosaliya and Liliya already, and that takes enough effort."

Seele glared at him unhappily. "My safety is none of your concern."

Han Jiang did not explain himself. If Seele was the Death Herrscher, that would be one thing. What he feared was that she was not.
