An Extra’s POV

'S-something came up…?!'

As Rey stared into Adonis' eyes, he could tell that something was terribly amiss.

An expression of concern swept through his face and it felt like anxiety was welling up within him.

Before Rey realized it, his heart began to race.

"Am I in trouble again?" He asked, a bead of sweat formed on the side of his face.

"A-ah! No! No! This is something else. You'll understand once you come with me. Everyone is waiting…"

Adonis had never lied to Rey before—at least not to his knowledge. There was no reason to think he was doing so now, though Rey knew he couldn't be too sure.

After a few seconds of silent considerations, Rey decided there was no other option than to go with Adonis and see what was going on.

'I've not done anything wrong or suspicious lately, right? Or could it be another scheme by the mastermind of last time…?'

Rey shrugged off his complicated thoughts and left his position, carrying the book he was reading in his hand without realizing it.

"Don't you need to return that?"

"A-ah! True…"

Rey didn't know which section to place it, so he simply put the book on the closest shelf and skittered off to catch up to Adonis, who was already waiting for him at the Library door

"Alright! Let's go!"

*********

At first, Rey was on his guard.

He kept glancing around him as inconspicuously as he could to see if there were some hidden guards waiting in ambush for him somewhere.

He couldn't see any, though.

'Why would the guards need to ambush me, though? Why would Adonis even lie about anything?'

If he was in trouble, guards would have just stormed into the Library with Adonis, who would probably just explain the situation to him.

There would be no need for elaborate lies.

'That means something else came up! Could it be related to Alicia?'

Rey was about to ask Adonis about what he knew about the current situation when the Hero's voice echoed in the air.
