Chapter 233: Merchant from the Traveling Merchant’s Guild
Robin cleared her throat, then leaned in to whisper to Leon. “About this matter… I’d rather not let Demetrius know. So even if you refuse me, I hope you won’t tell him what I’ve said. Can you do that?”
“Uh… so what exactly are you plotting?” Leon looked at Robin warily, convinced she was up to no good.
“Just promise you won’t tattle to Demetrius,” Robin repeated.
“Fine, let’s hear it.” Leon didn’t have much of a bond with Demetrius anyway, so keeping a secret for Robin didn’t weigh on his conscience.
“Well, it’s about Maru. Leon, how do you feel about her?” Robin exhaled in relief, then looked to Leon for his opinion.
“She’s a smart girl,” Leon gave the textbook answer.
“No other feelings?” Robin pressed.
“Nope.”
Leon immediately grasped Robin’s intent but chose to play dumb. It was the safest way to handle this—stay neutral and let her run in circles.
