At that moment, inside that simple room, three figures were sitting facing each other. Two of them were men, and the other was a beautiful yet simple-looking girl who had her head lowered in fear, too scared to say anything.
Daniel hadn't said a single word from start to finish. He only watched the situation quietly. From the look of things, it was clear that this girl had somehow fallen under Drael's control.
That fact alone made him a little curious. How had this boy managed to put her under control in just a few hours? Maybe he wasn't as useless and stupid as Daniel thought.
"If you really want to achieve your goal and save the temple from the demons, you need to help us," Drael said calmly, after Daniel gestured for him to begin. He turned toward Merina as he spoke.
"This…" Merina's expression changed as soon as she heard those words. It was as if she was fighting within herself, unable to make a final decision.
