She stared at Wood and Stone for a long moment, and in the end, she could only admit defeat.
These two weren't stupid. They might look slow, but their loyalty was sharp as a blade. The moment she hinted that she might "disappear," they were already ready to die in front of her. If she tried to hide the truth any longer, she would only force them into desperate actions.
Since that was the case, there was only one choice.
She would bring them in.
Sienna let out a helpless breath, then forced a smile.
"Alright. Put the swords away first. Carrying them around like that, do you want to scare the ghosts too?" She paused, then spoke seriously. "Now listen carefully. What you're about to see… You will not speak of it. Not to slaves. Not to outsiders. Not even to yourselves when you're drunk. Understood?"
Wood and Stone looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.
Sienna nodded back. "Good. Then don't blink."
