Pakura naturally didn't believe what Hyuga Sho said.
She struggled with all her might.
Although he was only thirteen, Hyuga Sho, who was twenty years old in appearance, held her down firmly.
Pakura had no chance of breaking free.
"Hero of the Sand has rendered outstanding service, overshadowing his master. Rasa has disliked you from the very beginning, but he couldn't find a good opportunity to eliminate you..."
