Muse tried to sound cold as she replied, ”Why can't I leave? When I lost ic, I was your prisoner! But now I have recovered completely Do you have the ability to stop me? Watt Fortress may have tens of thousands of soldiers but if I want to leave, will they be able to stop me?”
Rody was agitated He walked up to her and said in a low voice, ”Prisoner? You're saying that you were a prisoner? That day I was seriously injured If you wanted to go, how could I have stopped you? You said you were a prisoner but along the way here, you had plenty of chances to escape!” Rody looked straight at Muse His eyes gave a coaze
