Nevertheless, Rean smiled back before asking, "And why would you care?" That was the best way to send Ophele away in Rean's mind.
Sure enough, Ophele was taken aback by that question. Why should she care? However, she immediately came up with a reason, saying, "Hmph! Isn't that obvious? Your life is too important for our Hafel Clan and the rest of the other forces in the faction. It would be terrible if you were suddenly attacked or even killed."
Rean then began to walk around Ophele with a mysterious smile. "Hmm~..."
As he did that, he looked at Ophele from head to toe as he questioned with a knowing grin, "Are you sure it's just because you're concerned with your clan's position? Isn't there something else more...personal?"
Ophele felt shivers in her spine when Rean did that. "Wh-What are you talking about? There's obviously nothing else!"
