"Nacirfa Kingdom..."
Sitting on the bed, Rheanne muttered under her breath and a deep frown creased her elegant eyebrows as she stared at the floor, processing the information.
Brandon, who was sitting beside her, gave a nod "Mhm."
She turned to look at him "Why would they send assassins after you?"
"Nacirfa has stayed carefully neutral for decades. Attacking the Goddess's Shadow directly like this... it makes no sense unless they have a very specific goal."
Brandon shrugged lightly and fell back onto the bed, lying on his back with his hands folded behind his head "My best guess is that they want you to do something for them,"
"The only real vulnerability the Goddess has is her companion. So they might have thought they could capture this 'weak' companion and then force you to do whatever tasks they need. Using me as leverage to control you is the smartest play they could make."
Rheanne's frown deepened "That's... plausible."
