Afterward, head thrown back, blissful as an immortal.
Even Shien himself had not expected that when he returned this time, he would get to enjoy such a treat first instead of getting hacked to pieces.
If his Princess had not loved courting death so much, he definitely would not have achieved something like this.
"After all, I'm a man with a conscience too, aren't I?"
Shien held Roxie in his arms and sought her agreement with an utterly matter-of-fact expression.

Was she really that easy to win over?
