Aria observed Jagoan’s room and the chess board on the table before she smiled.
“Commander Jagoan, you’re enjoying yourself. You’re under house arrest but in the mood to play chess with your subordinate. Is this considered finding pleasure in misery?”
“Misery?” Jagoan shook his head and said calmly, “How is this misery? I have food to eat, water to drink, clothes to wear, no need to suffer from the cold, and I don’t need to worry about the danger that might come at any moment. How is this misery? Ms. Aria, you seem to have never experienced real suffering to say such a thing.”
Aria instantly froze when Jagoan said this.
She had only spoken casually and did not expect Jagoan to answer her so seriously.
She opened her mouth and was about to retort when Jagoan said, “Ms. Aria, Lowich’s injuries should be stable now, right? I stabbed him. I know how severe his injuries are, so don’t try to lie to me.”
Aria suddenly felt the man had taken away her initiative.
No wonder he was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo’s city defense army. He was young but experienced and clever.
However, so what?
They were in Crosac. Forget about Dorodo’s city defense army. There was nothing he could do, even if he was the king!
“So, what did you come to see me about today?” Jagoan asked straight to the point.
Aria paused again, feeling Jagoan had messed up her plan.
She had planned to enter the room to meet Jagoan, taunt him a little, and then lighten the mood a bit, promising him some benefits, and asking him to work for her.
“Commander Jagoan, since you didn’t beat around the bush, I won’t keep secrets. As you can see, I am now free to move around, but my sister, Lisha is still imprisoned in her room. I think I don’t need to tell you what this means. So, what are you going to do? Are you still on my sister’s side?” Aria asked with a sneer.
