Intentions

As Zagan lay on a bed in the sickbay, his mind was engrossed in the events that occurred that morning when Elisha was kidnapped, replaying every moment.

While he had little interest in protecting Elisha now, it was still part of his responsibilities as her scort, so he couldn't be too obvious with his actions.

If the enemy wanted to incapacitate him at all costs to gain time, it was because they believed that he would pursue them relentlessly until he took the Saintess back.

The paladin's violet eyes darkened with imperceptible slyness.

What no one knew was that Zagan had deliberately let himself be paralyzed.

If Elisha disappeared, then the position of the Saintess of the Sacred Creed would be left vacant.

But Zagan knew that General Medaan would send the best to rescue her, so his goal of replacing Elisha would not be accomplished so easily.
