“Even though you appear calm and collected on the outside, with your gentle demeanor and lack of visible anger, if you look closely, you can still spot the small signs that give you away,” Charmaine observed.

Keon let out a resigned chuckle. “Yeah, there is something else…

“Are you seriously planning to keep your true identity a secret from Emyr?”

Charmaine asked, her voice flat and unflinching, “What identity do you mean?”

Keon was taken aback, unsure how to respond.

“I know. It’s a woman, right? Hasn’t he already found her?” Charmaine replied, unaffected.

Keon lowered his voice, barely a whisper. “She’s the one who owns the bullet–casing necklace. The ‘Fox‘ he used to fight alongside.”

Charmaine’s eyes widened in realization. “So that’s what’s going on.”
