Observing the Other Side of the Coin

Ketis gazed at Ves' physical projection with an ambiguous expression.

Ves knew what she was trying to convey.

The swordmaster found his decision-making to be contemptible. At the very least, Ketis would have never made the same choices as him if she was in charge!

However, since Ves possessed greater authority than her, his orders took priority.

Of course, Ketis could have chosen to defy his instruction and take unilateral action through Sharpie. She truly wanted to give Venerable Dise a hand and allow her to escape the entanglement of the Emperor Tree's roots.

She ultimately did not do so. If Ves wanted her to hold back, then he must have his own reasons for doing so. His actions were not always righteous, but he had rarely if ever disadvantaged the Larkinson Clan.
