An Extra’s POV

'What should I say?'

Rey racked his brain to think of a way to circumvent the issue and avoid lying, without also saying the truth.

"How do you suppose I did that? My Skill is to temporarily transform my body and—!" He tried to do just that.

However, before he could get very far, Lady Vida silenced him with her next words.

"Just answer the question. Did you leave the Royal Estate or not? If you indeed left the Estate, where did you go?"

These were extremely precise questions that required direct answers for him.

'She's trapped me!' Rey greeted his teeth as he watched her chuckle slightly.

It seemed she truly took pleasure in seeing him like this.

'I really don't like how she's looking down on me. That condescending gaze… it irks me!'

The more he hesitated, the more suspicious he looked. Rey knew that much already.

'I've already denied an ample number of allegations, and successfully at that.'

If he made a blunder now, it would reduce the reliability of his words, practically ruining all his efforts until now.

Left with nowhere else to go, Rey finally gave up and used his last ditch option.

"I… I refuse to answer that."

Gasps escaped from the lips of the audience as they heard his response.

"Oho?" Lady Vida seemed to be even more excited once she heard that. "Are you sure that's how you want to respond?"

"Yes. I'm sure."

As the entire room heard this, the Lady was greeted by Rey's defiant stare. Anyone with such high standing would feel understandably dissatisfied with that.

But not Lady Vida.
