Regalina blinked several times after hearing those unexpected words while her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Ethan, and confusion slowly appeared across her face as she tried to understand what he meant.
"Scammed?"
She tilted her head slightly before asking in a puzzled voice.
"What do you mean?"
Ethan let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead helplessly before answering.
"I think His Highness trapped me with words."
Regalina remained silent for a moment while quietly waiting for him to continue.
Ethan pointed back toward the command tent.
"I refused because I didn't want to charge into ordinary soldiers and massacre weaker people."
"So I asked to join the Saint team instead."
He paused for a moment and then let out another bitter laugh.
"Now that I think about it..."
"I practically volunteered to become bait."
Regalina's expression slowly froze.
Then realization gradually dawned on her face.
"You mean..."
Ethan nodded.
