“After observing Lord Keter, I got the impression that he is quite feisty and hot-blooded.”
Panir immediately frowned at Prosciutto’s words.
“Are you suggesting that we use Katherine to seduce Keter?”
“How could I use Katherine for such a vulgar scheme? I raised her like my daughter. I mentioned it because I think that Lord Keter would feel an even greater sense of humiliation if he is defeated by Katherine,” Prosciutto said.
“Hmm. It would indeed be a tremendous humiliation for a feisty man to be defeated by a woman. However, to humiliate him, one must first win, and win very decisively at that,” Panir replied.
“That’s right.”
“I heard Anis was taken down by Keter. Are you confident that Katherine can beat him?”
Panir did not care that Anis was not in good condition or that it was a surprise attack. The only thing that mattered was the result: Anis lost and Keter won. Prosciutto thought the same way. Keter had defeated Anis, so to win against him, Katherine had to have also beaten Anis as a prerequisite to stand a chance against Keter.
“Wouldn’t it be enough that Katherine is a two-star knight?” Prosciutto said.
Panir rarely showed surprise, but his eyes widened when he heard Prosciutto.
