"You are saying that we are walking in their trap… yet we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go with it?" Kazimir coldly asked, looking at Leon with an intensified gaze.
Emperor Valentin sighed, as expected, Kazimir and Antoine might resent him and Leon for withholding such a crucial matter. Looking at the two's complicated faces, there was a trace of disbelief, conflict, and anxiousness in their expressions and gestures.
