"Perhaps she sensed our arrival and was scared out of her wits. Maybe she's preparing to abandon her betrayal and pledge allegiance to us!"
Hearing this, Momoshiki reined in his aura slightly and frowned in thought. As someone who considered himself a noble of the orthodox Otsutsuki lineage, he still held the ancient clan rule forbidding members from killing one another in reverence...
