Chapter 56 - You are always an exception (1)

Also, he was a supporting character, and the right-hand man of Ricdorian who helped him and the heroine escape the prison. So his magic could be not just some average spell from typical wizards. The same was true that even if I made use of this magic several years before the original plot occurred, it could still be of function for the heroine in their break-free mission in the future.

At this point, even if his magic hadn’t reached its perfection; if one would try to look on the brighter side, he was able to sneak into the Kambrakam prison and use magic secretly. And those facts spoke something. That his skill may have some lapses, but still, it was exceptional.

I bit my lower lip hard and breathed lightly so that I wouldn’t be heard.

Oh no, I was almost holding it in and tried not to spit out words. I was still not sure of my situation right now. There’s a possibility that Lenag really saw me or maybe not? But I do hope it’s the latter. I need to have a rosy outlook.

Right. What if he just did it out of nowhere? Like he was talking to himself or something.

But I heard him say ‘Lady’, but…

In other words, he was a straight-to-the-point type of person.

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut like this.

“Exactly… Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted to ask you.”

“Then may I ask why Miss Iana was walking on the hall of the first floor at this hour? Using magic, too.”

Iana: “…”

I was speechless.

..I was the one doing the interrogation but suddenly, he turned the tables and was now questioning me.

Glancing up, I looked into Lenag’s eyes, and I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking as of the moment. He’s harder to read than the most challenging book.

Was that his way of answering my question, or was he just purely asking me a question?

For a moment, it occurred to me that his golden eyes glistened extraordinarily because of the dawn and morning radiance that dyed it with bluish light. To better visualize it, using a metaphor, his eyes were like that of an eagle crouched in the dark, where only his eyes were glowing amidst the darkness.

“I am very surprised.”

Surely his eyes were sharp, and that gaze made me feel like I was in my final judgment with the grim reaper himself and that I should start admitting all my wrongful deeds and sins right now. Furthermore, I felt like I was being swallowed wholly up to my bones.

“…this is a situation I didn’t expect at all.”

Well, it seemed to be hiding in the softness, but the peculiar sharpness still flowed through that gaze.

I tried not to make it noticeable, but I couldn’t help but breathe heavily.

Before I knew it, I folded my hands and put it on top of each other. Then I pressed them over my chest. Soon, the eyes, gazing keenly, slowly turned downward. I was guilty, okay. Moreover, I was caught in the act.

“That.”

“What?” I asked as I was confused.

“That on your arm.”
