"What do you mean?" Upon hearing Ashu's instigation, Isabella tilted her head, seemingly confirming the system's introduction about her lack of education.
Observing her expression, Ashu could tell that this girl had no idea about the plan to assassinate the Luminous Saint.
So he dropped the idea.
He shifted the topic. "What I mean is, all schemes and ruses will eventually be exposed under the radiance of Holy Light. The enforcers of the Kingdom of Ankgarde got what they deserved. But in the end, they were just a surprise—nothing more. The real focus is the town right in front of us."
Now that Isabella had arrived, there was no reason not to make use of her.
From the system's profile and their brief time together, it was clear this girl wasn't particularly bright. Therefore, establishing trust with her early would prove immensely helpful when they faced the dragon's den two months from now.
Previously, he'd worried the Imperial Princess might also target him.
