With a snap of her fingers, Isabella instantly disappeared from sight. At the same time, within the time corridor, the charm effect on Kalbira was immediately lifted.

After leaving the time corridor, Daniel decided it was time for a private conversation with Kartora and Isabella. However, just as he was about to approach them, Isabella's figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Why are you so heartless? You left me all alone here," Isabella's voice was teasing, but there was an undertone of loneliness. "This barren land is so dull; there's nothing interesting here at all."

"Well, I've already taken care of the issue with that time girl. So, can you spare some of your precious time to just stroll around with me? You've been with her for so long; it's only fair you spend some time with me!" Isabella said, her tone light, yet there was a hint of something else. "If you do, I promise that next time you need my help, I won't ask for anything in return. How does that sound?"

Daniel, hearing this, could not help but sigh. He suddenly realized that Isabella knew him better than he had expected. If she had just said these words off the cuff, Daniel would not have believed her. But it was clear she was trying to send him a message through her words.

To be precise, Isabella knew far more about him than he had anticipated.

After thinking for a moment, Daniel realized why this was so. It was clear that after Isabella had controlled Kalbira, she must have gathered quite a bit of intelligence about him from her. Although the information may not have been complete, there were things that could be confirmed, such as Isabella's deep understanding of him. It seemed that Isabella knew him far better than he had thought, much more than he had told her.

Thinking about it, Daniel found it all quite reasonable. If the roles were reversed, he would have investigated Isabella in great detail as well. However, Daniel had never had the chance to do so.

Just then, Isabella spoke again, her voice full of curiosity. "This place is too desolate. How about you show me your world? I want to see what it's like."

Daniel had anticipated that she would know about his world. However, he couldn't quite understand why Isabella would want to visit it. Was she simply looking to relax, or did she have some other motive? Daniel's mind began to run through possible reasons, but he couldn't come to any solid conclusion yet.

After a brief silence, Daniel took the initiative and asked, "So, can you tell me why you're so interested in my world?"

Daniel had already formed a guess in his mind, but he was still curious about Isabella's true reasons. Isabella gave him a coquettish glance before replying, "Please, I've been sealed for so long. Shouldn't I be interested in something fun?"

"Then you must promise me one thing: don't harm my people." Daniel's voice was firm, and his gaze remained steady as he placed the condition on Isabella.

Without hesitation, Isabella agreed. "Fine, I promise."

Daniel wasn't entirely convinced, but he did feel somewhat relieved. He continued, "Also, no charm magic, and don't touch me."

Though Isabella had agreed to all of Daniel's demands, Daniel remained cautious. He knew that leaving so many safeguards in place was necessary. His wariness wasn't without reason. Isabella's strength was immense, and this made him feel uneasy about how to handle her. Yet, despite all his caution, Isabella's simple request made her feel something she hadn't felt in a long time—discomfort and a sense of injustice.

Her beauty had caused countless beings to fall into despair, but now, she was being rejected by a mere human. Even worse, Daniel had even asked her not to touch him. Though Isabella understood some of the reasons behind it, the feeling of being so easily dismissed made her feel a little hurt.

"Alright, alright, I agree to everything you say. Is that enough?" Isabella pouted playfully, trying to mask her disappointment.

She was incredibly curious to see Daniel's world, especially the one he ruled. She had been intrigued by this world of his and wanted to understand more about Daniel's experiences and methods. After all, when choosing an ally, one must be very careful. Even though she had learned a lot about Daniel from Kalbira's words and through their interactions, Isabella still felt that she needed to see it all for herself, to understand every aspect of Daniel's world.

Right now, Isabella wasn't simply viewing Daniel as the master of the time corridor. For someone as exceptional as him, Isabella had more on her mind than just making an alliance. But aside from these hidden thoughts, there was a simple desire—she had been sealed away for so long, and she just wanted to see something lively, something that wasn't as desolate as the place she had been trapped in.

These various factors led to her request.

On the other hand, Daniel didn't seem to have any intention of refusing her. At this point, having a powerful demigod like Isabella by his side was an invaluable asset. However, their relationship was still in the very early stages, and both of them were cautiously testing each other.

Daniel wasn't ready to fully trust Isabella, but he also understood that trust would be necessary, at least to some extent. In the back of his mind, he knew that Isabella was different from Kartora. Isabella didn't have control over the time domain, so she couldn't manipulate time itself. That gave Daniel some sense of security, knowing that even if something went wrong or if something terrifying occurred, he could always use Time Stream to return to the past.

At that moment, Isabella sighed softly, a sweet sound that seemed to melt into the air. "Little brother, can you take another look at me? Just like you did earlier."

"I'll stick to everything you said. If I do anything suspicious, you can seal me again, okay?" Her voice was gentle, but there was an undeniable sincerity in it.

Her request made Daniel hesitate for a moment. He thought for a moment before turning his gaze to Isabella, only to find that she had changed. She was now wearing a delicate, almost ethereal gown that shimmered like a fragile butterfly's wings. The dress was both beautiful and graceful, giving Isabella the air of a princess.

At that moment, Isabella's sweet voice reached Daniel's ears. "Now, with this outfit, I won't be able to affect you anymore."

"Can you trust me now?" she asked, her voice almost pleading.

Daniel nodded, then activated his Eye of Insight to examine the dress she was wearing.

Daniel could not deny that Isabella had been truthful this time. He relaxed slightly but remained on guard. Slowly, he allowed his eyes to fully open, understanding that this was the moment where trust could begin to grow between them.
