Chapter 433: Unspoken Faith

Naida, her eyebrows still arched in a mixture of surprise and inquiry, asked Asher, "Are you really sure about entrusting such a precious and powerful item to me?" 

Asher, momentarily taken aback by his own decisiveness, pondered why he had not given a second thought before offering the hilt to Naida. 

It was uncharacteristic of him; typically, he would entrust such an item only to his most loyal confidants like Eradicator or to one of his women. 

Yet here he was, offering it to Naida without hesitation.

Of course, his women weren't here, and Naida was stronger than Eradicator. Still, even then, he wouldn't have made this decision before. 

It was as if he could already feel a sense of trust and confidence in Naida that was absent before.
