Chapter 371: Division (1)
"…What brings you here?"
Isaac suppressed his irritation, deciding not to provoke the alliance unnecessarily, but his tone still carried a formal detachment. Maintaining this degree of distance from Leonora felt just right—any closer, and she could easily ruin the life of anyone, male or female, who got entangled with her.
Leonora, though visibly dissatisfied, knew better than to waste time on pointless power struggles. For someone like her, every second could be converted into gold, and she was the type to calculate her worth down to the second.
“I thought your supplies might be running low by now, so I’ve brought additional provisions. You can’t exactly resupply within the Immortal Order’s territory.”
Isaac welcomed the news.
Aidan had been scheduled to arrive with the second supply convoy at the appropriate time, but it seemed the convoy had arrived ahead of schedule.
"Did Aidan not come?"
"I suggested that, since we were moving faster than expected, he accompany the next convoy instead. Also, the Golden Idol Guild has agreed to handle future supplies."
The news of the Golden Idol Guild stepping in to assist with resupply in Aidan’s stead was both surprising and reassuring to Isaac. As capable as Aidan was, being a candidate for the Archangel under Amun Dalas’s protection, the depths of the mainland would limit his influence.
