Playing a trick

After a long moment of silence of being lost in thought, I finally took a deep breath to gather myself.

Ann had been silently looking at me and I saw that she steeled her heart when she saw me look back up at her.

So I said, " I understand your situation, but it seems that this is much more dangerous than I thought."

With a sigh, I explained what I inferred from the name that she gave me.

"Sorcery Empire." Ann slowly repeated with a strange look on her face.

It was clear that she didn't expect that her 'husband' would have this kind of backer behind him. Even if she knew what kind of person he was and what kind of things he did, she didn't expect his backing to be this deep.

And as this information sank in, there was a trace of worry that appeared in her eyes.
