After making sure Marik was out of her sight, she turned around and went in the opposite direction, to the west, where she needed to search for the mushroom to treat herself.
She had actually detected some mushrooms in the same direction Marik fled, but she didn't want Kael or the eagle beastmen to track him down. She had to make sure Marik was far enough not to get detected by them, and that she herself didn't want to look too suspicious.
Sisi scoffed as she plucked a mushroom from the bark of a tree. "As if I could do that. I'm sure Kael will blame me the moment he finds out Marik escaped."
But Sisi wasn't scared at all.
She had already prepared an argument that would make the Beast King unable to blame her—unless he chose to be unreasonable.
'But he is unreasonable,' Sisi thought, then shrugged. 'Oh well. If I die because of this, at least I won't have any regrets. Let's just hope he won't kill me in front of Jojo.'
