"But what I don't understand is why Heieg would go along with this."
Before Cassius could respond, Sela cut in.
"Hold on. Hold on. Just one moment,"
She stated.
"Why is everyone acting like it's already confirmed?"
They all turned to her, curious gazes settling on her face.
She continued.
"In the end, it's all speculation from you guys, isn't it?"
Cassius tilted his head slightly.
"Well, yes. I made sure to clarify that point before I explained anything."
Then she spoke again.
"And that's why I don't believe it."
They frowned.
"I don't believe that Ophris and the Jade Tower would intentionally sacrifice the lives of thousands of innocent soldiers just to push their own agenda."
"They definitely would."
It was Lugh who responded, and his tone was steely—flat and cold.
Cassius simply shook his head. Rather than naïve, would it be better to term this girl idealistic?
Lugh continued.
"I don't know about you, but have you ever noticed the way elves look at us?"
