Shiro was usually so adorable and obedient at home—who would have thought she would just run away like that?
"..."
Durandal fell silent after hearing this. Chelsea had behaved exceptionally well these past few months, as if she had willingly become her cat. She interacted with her regularly, and Durandal took meticulous care of her every day.
It seemed that her behavior over the past few months had all been a facade, just for this very day.
Najeta had rebelled, and Chelsea had run away! Everything was piling up at once.
She had treated her so well. After learning that she did not like cat food, she had Rita specially prepare delicious meals for her every day.
She had even given her things that Sil and Akame would not have dared dream of!
And yet she still ran away...
The Empire's Traitorous General
"Lord Durandal, please punish us!"
Sil, Cornelia, Akame, and the others lowered their heads, waiting for Durandal's fury. Yet after a long while, there was no response.
Lord Durandal merely frowned and remained silent, which placed even greater pressure on them. Unable to bear it any longer... Cornelia exchanged glances with the others beside her before softly speaking to Durandal.
"Forget it. There is no need for punishment."
Though she was somewhat displeased, Durandal had no intention of punishing them over this. Chelsea had behaved far too well during this period; no one could have expected it.
"But..."
Cornelia still wanted to say something. If Durandal did not punish her at all, she would feel even more uneasy.
"Leave it at that!"
Durandal waved her hand, unwilling to discuss it further.
Of course, that did not mean she had given up. How could the cat she had set her sights on escape so easily?
Wasn't it
