"What?"
She sounded slightly confused at first.
"You… you're a practitioner?"
Her voice seemed to break with disbelief.
Unsure how to respond to her, I hesitated. She could very much be someone who is disguising, she could be working for the church. Not everyone was going to be like Lira. Sulin was a very good example to how people could do something for their own self interest.
Usually, I wouldn't mind but these days, their self interest was beginning to cost me a shit ton of money.
So, I had to carefully think about my next answer. And carefully consider what my next actions were going to be, especially since I was in a vulnerable position right now. Kassie was also fighting her summon.
At the very least, I could prepare myself not to be subdued and just find a corner to use my hands.
Lady Ilse's gaze was so glued to me, and so blank that I had to take a break from that torrent of thought and stare back at her.
