I looked at Katsuki and she knew what I wanted to know without me saying anything.
She bowed deeply, "I apologise Mistress… The story about the state of my slavery was indeed a lie…"
I felt a little disappointed at that but I noticed the man getting closer so I shot out a [Laser] in front of him, making him pause.
I then turned back to Katsuki, "Explain."
Katsuki looked surprised, "Is… Is Mistress not going to abandon me?"
"Not until I hear your explanation at least."
She fidgeted with her fingers but relented, "I was… I was focused on my mission at first… But I did not account for the fact that Linette would be betrayed by her own guards and left to be killed by the goblins. Because I did let myself go through the slavery process, I would be unable to escape until she was dead, but that would mean the possibility of me being used by the goblins before being freed was also high… I had already resigned myself to such a fate but Mistress came in to save us…"
