When Darian opened his eyes, he saw a Dragoness wrapped in a reddish aura staring at him seriously. Her eyes trembled slightly, fixed on him.
"Why... can't I feel... anything from your soul?" she muttered tensely.
Darian snorted. He had already expected that sooner or later, this would happen. Normally, there was no point in trying to sense the soul of someone with four rings, so she hadn't tried before. But now, after everything, she didn't hesitate.
"That's not very polite of you, is it? Everyone's got a few secrets." Darian said calmly, looking straight into her eyes. "I never lied. I came here with good intentions, and I'm trying to do everything right for Niara. If she sees you and this planet as something important, then I'd never harm any of you. No need to worry or overthink it."
Painita was clearly uncomfortable. She definitely knew a few things. But even without him saying anything else, she didn't get angry.
