An Extra’s POV

"...."

Ater had proven his case, and he didn't seem to be lying to Rey about anything. If he was, one of the Curses would have activated, and Ater would be dead on the ground.

Besides, Rey could tell if his Familiar was lying due to their bond.

'He's telling the truth about everything…' The details were still lost to Rey, but there was no doubt about it; Ater was on his side.

"If you still have your doubts, there is a way to prove the validity of my claim." Ater spoke up, forcing Rey to look in his eyes as he made a confident proposal.

"Hm? What's that?"

"Alicia White. Have her summon a Beast Familiar so you can use [Clairvoyance] on it. That way, you'll be able to—"

"No." Rey's response was flat and final.

He had a serious expression on his face, though none of it indicated anger of any kind. "May I ask why?"

Ater's sincere voice wafted through the air, causing Rey to sigh and lean backwards a little, his gaze on the Familiar, but his thoughts far away.

"Alicia still hasn't gotten over her trauma. It would be selfish of me to make her summon a Beast Familiar just to satiate my curiosity." He mumbled. "Besides, I can already see that you're telling the truth, so there really is no need for that."

For a second or two, there was silence.

Ater then gave a silent chuckle and bowed his head in respect and satisfaction.

"Understood, Master. Thank you for trusting me."
