Arioch's tone of voice was odd for her. She didn't like it. It had a sinister undertone to it.
She didn't like Maximus' conceited voice either. He was so sure of getting the sword. And so does Arioch.
Maximus wants the sword for unknown reasons and Arioch wants the sword for the people.
She knows which side she should take. And she knows what her decision should be.
The two men who were connected to her past life are trying to get the sword all for their own reasons. Through all this, she could see one thing.
[I have only myself to rely on!]
Her heart hurt a lot realizing the truth, but she had to get that point across. It would be for her best not to trust anyone. She might have known them the previous life. But they are not the same. She shouldn't be the same too.
Pretending that she didn't hear any of it, she returned to the room.
She waited for Arioch inside the room. After a short while, Arioch returned.
