Everyone he trusted was already killed and he was forced into war he couldn’t send his mage away because he only had one arm and had to continue performing the ritual so we could have two arms to fight not to mention we seen the way he was treated in the beginning he was isolated. The only people who would talk to him would be the bottom of the barrel, children and elderly. He also didn’t believe that Lisbeth would do that because it was mutually ensure destruction if she did not take care of the MC he was going to tell the Lord that her brother was the mole who committed treason betrayed the lands and had let in the other army, which means her whole bloodline would be disgraced her brother would die. She’s already sick. It would fall on the head of her child so with all of that weight and pressure, he thought he could have some trust in her. She also cared for the MC, but he did not expect that nor could he do much because he’s fighting in a war and he doesn’t have many people around him that could go into that city. His all of his people are branded because they’re under him. He had his arm cut off. They think he’s some type of barbarian he’s at war he’s truly backed into a corner not to mention when he does start sending in people and trying to get people to help Ida, literally almost immediately dies the little slave boy dies the blind man tells him I can’t help you cause I could see what’s actually going on the lady who was doing supplies said I’m not helping you. I’m just not looking at what you’re doing. It was such a gigantic risk for anybody to do anything.

“To me she lied about this and that” No Gjord, if you wanted to know the truth you would have known. We all saw how easy magic spying is for Gjord&Ishimon works.
