"What?" Rashid, who had been unable to form proper words till now, was as surprised as I was.
"I give up this mission and support you against him, isn't it a good offer?"
The world is unpredictable, a tenet that I have followed throughout my whole unlife.
Remira's offer was not something one could easily ignore, nor did I expect her to make such a drastic offer to Rashid just to one-up me.
Smart of her to abandon the lives of her so-called companions in an attempt to mess me up. And she did, with her at the helm, I was not even privy to what the quest was. Blind to the quest whose failure might cost me, I was ten steps behind the two of them.
Not to mention, I lack powerful individuals under me who would be able to contend with current Remira. So even if I were to know what the quest was, it would be harder for me to face her alone.
