"It's alright!" Roxanna shouted back. "I'll climb up there!"
But how exactly she was supposed to climb that tree was a big question. She had never climbed a big tree before, especially not without a ladder.
The evil Roxanna might've been able to do it, but since she had only recently taken over this body, she wasn't confident she could pull it off.
While she was still panicking over it, Azul suddenly scooped her up with one arm and climbed the tree using the other.
[My Azul is so strong!] she screamed proudly in her mind.
Calen twitched at the corner of his eye. Out of all five husbands, Roxanna had only ever openly claimed Azul as "hers," and that alone was enough to make the fish beastman act like he ruled the world.
"Dear heaven…" Roxanna gasped, covering her mouth with both hands as she saw Skiv up close.
Just like Calen said, Skiv was barely breathing. His eyes could only open halfway. "L-Leader…" he whispered weakly.
