Third Person's POV
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and watched Telor closely.
"And I think you are smart enough to understand which direction I want you to point the blame."
The knight's firm gaze flickered slightly, and a glint of clarity flashed across his eyes.
He replied with slow deliberation,
"Empire of Abyssal Dominion?"
Ethan's smile widened slightly on seeing that his future partner was not stupid.
"That's about right."
Telor gave a small nod on hearing Ethan's confirmation, but his jaw tensed again as he returned to the lingering concern.
"Even if I go along with this… You still haven't told me how you plan to handle the heir.
He has seen too much. How do you plan to silence him?"
Ethan's answer came with a quiet and almost calm intensity, but the undercurrent behind it made Telor's shoulders tighten.
"You can leave that to me."
There was something about the way he said it.
