Although she had been asleep for so many years, even if Crimson Crow had become stronger than before, how strong could she possibly be?
No matter how strong she was, wasn't she still working for Otto?
"I need to go see Crimson Crow right away..."
Little Cang Xuan tried to get out of bed, but Little Knowledge swiftly wrapped her arms around Little Cang Xuan's waist. Though Little Cang Xuan was an Armed Doll, Little Knowledge's body had been made by Otto. How could Otto possibly make a body that couldn't withstand her antics?
And in the tug-of-war between a Herrscher and an Armed Doll, the Lady of Sentience emerged victorious!
Little Cang Xuan panted as she lay sprawled across the bed. She wasn't a combat-type Armed Doll, so how could she resist Little Knowledge's pestering? Her face flushed red as she cried out indignantly.
"Little Knowledge! I misjudged you!"
"I thought that although you were gluttonous, lazy, and arrogant, you were still a good child. But I never expected you to betray Crimson Crow, who loves you most!"
What Little Cang Xuan couldn't imagine was that Crimson Crow had finally opened her heart to someone, only to be betrayed by that very person. What a devastating blow that would be to Crimson Crow.
Thinking of that, tears glimmered in Little Cang Xuan's eyes, and she looked as though she were about to cry.
"Ah... uh, Little Cang Xuan, don't cry."
Seeing Little Cang Xuan begin to sniffle, Little Knowledge felt her scalp go numb. She released Little Cang Xuan's waist, fell silent for a moment, then lowered her head.
"I'm sorry."
Little Knowledge spoke softly.
Seeing the tears in Little Cang Xuan's eyes, Little Knowledge wondered whether she had done something wrong. But this was clearly good for everyone.
