Miserable Ferdinand
At this moment, Seraphina was losing consciousness
It was at that moment when Ferdinand's gibberish could no longer reach her.
The door that was seemingly shut suddenly unbolted and a flash of bright light intruded, making him frown at the blinding sensation.
"Urk!"
And at the same time, Ferdinand was keeled over by a powerful blow to his cheek. The tingling shock was enough for him to roll around while holding his cheek painfully. After he was kept far from Seraphina, he ultimately looked extremely ill.
"Seraphina!"
Raven, who didn't spare a single glance at Ferdinand, immediately approached Seraphina.
Perhaps due to the intense shock, Raven's voice was still wavering. Even after he quickly unfastened all the ropes binding her body, Seraphina wasn't conscious enough to move properly—just like a broken doll.
"Seraphina, are you okay?"
