An Extra’s POV

'What is this…?!'

Rey felt like he was in a lion's den, a prey to the predators that all stared at him with suspicious eyes.

He could feel the back of his throat itch as he mulled over Adonis' question, and more importantly… how to answer it.

"Well, there was training. Obviously…"

"After that." Adonis' voice was curt, straight to the point.

He didn't even give Rey a chance to buy time and think up an excuse.

'I thought we could spend our time however we wished. No one ever bothers to ask, so I never thought of an excuse!'

Besides, wasn't it private how he decided to spend his time? Surely, Adonis knew about this

So why? There had to be a reason why he was being pressured!

'I should just come up with a believable excuse and—!' Before Rey could finalize his decision about lying, he found something on the hand of the Grand Mage, Lucielle herself.

The Truthseeker!

'They'd go this far? I can't even lie about it?!'

Rey could feel beads of sweat forming on his face as his eyes sauntered back and forth.

He couldn't properly look at Adonis, considering how his gaze made him feel very uncomfortable.

The pressure on Rey's shoulder intensified as he nervously took a step back.

'H-huh?!' He noticed strange movements behind him.

Once he realized what was happening, his eyes nearly bulged. He tried his best to hide the fact that he knew, but it was very difficult to do so.

'Guards are waiting outside the door? They're a lot…'

His mind struggled to comprehend why they would be doing all of this, and why it seemed like he was the object of suspicion.

At this point, Rey felt absolutely surrounded.

"Just tell the truth, Rey. That's all we're asking…"

Rey could tell from the look on Brutus' face, as well as the rest of the guards, that if it were up to them this conversation would be going in another direction.

Even Lucielle was frowning deeply.

Rey had never seen her like that before.
