“The Attendant Division…… How could you……!”
Luna felt as though she wanted to vomit up her heart instead of blood.
How could she not? The members of the ‘Attendant Division’ were people who lived for their loyalty to the Imperial Family. They had been raised from childhood to serve the Empire’s royalty.
