Aislin was a bit unsure about what Gilbert was hinting at, but she knew that among Ruth's students, only Gilbert was quick-witted enough and wouldn't want to make her suffer.
Oliva was also someone she could trust, but she didn't trust Oliva's mind at all.
As for Ruth... as Aislin had mentioned to Gilbert before, she always felt that everything about her teacher was great, except that his attitude of treasuring someone who should have long died was quite pointless.
Aislin always felt that between that person and herself, the teacher would only choose the one who was no longer human.
Although she could guess that in the past, it was because of that person's self-sacrifice that allowed Ruth to establish himself in the Tower of Dark Enigma as a High-level Mage, hadn't it all been in the past?
Aislin couldn't understand why Ruth, knowing that the other had become a burden, was still unwilling to let go.
But it wasn't that she didn't understand at all.
