Chapter 193
I felt my consciousness waver as I stood before Lisanda. It had been a long time since I had experienced this level of mental shock.
It was as if my awareness was retreating from reality, like stepping back from a monitor. Even in the midst of carrying out an important mission, I was in this state.
’Jafa was a woman.’
No matter how many times I turned it over in my mind, it was still shocking. But when I thought about it carefully, it wasn’t all that strange.
I couldn’t distinguish between male and female among the Tajirun race. From my perspective, the name "Jafa" naturally led me to assume it was a man.
And Jafa had likely made a deliberate effort not to reveal her gender to me. The less information she exposed about herself, the easier it was for her to maintain control over our relationship.
"You don’t seem to know much about Jafa after all. I think I said something unnecessary."
Lisanda hesitated, as if carefully choosing her words. I snapped back to full attention.
"That aggressive attitude from earlier is gone now."
"I had to make it look like Jafa and I weren’t on good terms. The Menoa Family is convinced that Jafa has an informant inside."
"If there were no traitor, even Jafa wouldn’t have been able to respond to the attack. Is there a particular reason you’re cooperating with her?"
