When Daniel spoke those words, the White Whale's expression stayed calm, with only the faintest frown. But Andreas's and Selera's faces immediately darkened, filled with shock.
In a single moment, countless questions appeared in their minds. The most important one: Why? Why would the Corruption Worshipers want to kidnap Ilaris?
"Could it be the elves hired them, and they want to forcefully bring Ilaris back to the elf race?" Andreas asked in a harsh tone.
He couldn't think of a better explanation, especially after learning the elves had actually sent a general to capture Ilaris. That only made him more suspicious of them.
And now Ilaris was truly kidnapped. It seemed like the most logical possibility.
"I don't think so," Daniel denied. He actually had a very different idea.
Besides, the elves would never do something like cooperating with the Corruption Worshipers. That would be no different from suicide.
