Roland could, of course, understand Christine's promise.
She would never turn against Roland under any circumstances, but this applied only to him personally.
If those around Roland were to oppose the Goddess, she would show no mercy.
That was enough.
At least she wasn't completely brainwashed by religion and hadn't forgotten the camaraderie of fighting side by side.
In all fairness, if their positions were reversed, Roland couldn't promise more either.
Perhaps Christine had heard the call of the Goddess, or perhaps she was concerned about the restoration of Wende. She spoke without her usual composure.
Roland silently pondered what she would do if he were truly on the opposing side of the Goddess and Christine neither wanted to harm him nor disobey the Goddess.
Her position would make her future very difficult.
"No matter what, you are my best friend, a comrade worthy of entrusting my life to."
As Christine's figure disappeared at the doorway, Roland murmured softly.
