A Conjecture

Feeling that the atmosphere went silent, Davis opened his mouth, "I've heard it from your father that you were receiving the inheritance during the previous Grand Sea Continent Meet..."

Isabella put a hold to her thoughts and turned to look at him with an inquiring gaze.

Seeing that he had garnered her attention, he uttered a harmless lie, "Your father mentioned me to take care of you if you meet with any dangers in this world, but seeing that you are at a higher stage above mine, seems like there is no need to..." 

In truth, Davis didn't know that Emperor Mark Ruth had wanted him to really protect his daughter, but in the eyes and the words of the old man when he talked about his daughter, he could still see the affection the old man had for his daughter.

Isabella still looked at him with a not so convincing expression on her face.
