For a moment, both sides just stood in their places, staring at me as if I was some kind of utter idiot. For a short moment, important figures from both of the opposing forces united in shock caused by my response.
"I only need to accomplish three things to be happy. First, is to obtain the sacred core. And to be frank," spreading my arms out, I shrugged before locking my eyes on the winged man nearby, "I don't even have any idea what this core looks like or what it does."
In theory, revealing one's cards just like that was a fatal mistake. By telling the potential enemy what my objective was, I gave both the man and the winged-man a way to easily control me. But in this specific situation, I didn't really pay it any mind.
Whoever would be capable of baiting me with the core, would earn my loyalty. That was the crux of the matter that I openly acknowledged right now. And in such a situation, the side that would offer a greater bid would receive my help.
