Earlier, after returning to the Duke's estate, Sophie had cleaned herself up, changed into fresh clothes, and put on some makeup.

Though she couldn't fully regain her usual appearance, at least she looked somewhat presentable now, no longer like a bloodstained corpse with ghastly pale skin.

Even so, her movements and expressions remained slightly stiff. This stiffness was subtle enough to escape notice unless one looked closely.

Gabriel did sense that something was off, but since he still lacked the keen perception of seasoned martial artists, he too failed to detect Sophie's peculiar condition.

He frowned and asked, "So you just passed out? Where exactly did it happen? Who attacked you? Did you get a look at their face?"

Sophie shook her head, keeping up the act with practiced ease.

Gabriel pressed further, frowning, "When you woke up, did you notice anything unusual?"

Sophie shook her head again, her voice trembling with self-reproach and looking on the verge of tears. "Father... I'm so useless. I didn't notice anything

at all. Did something go wrong? If I've ruined your important matters, please punish me as you see fit."

Gabriel narrowed his eyes slightly, fixing his penetrating gaze on her for a long moment.

Sophie lowered her head and gnawed at her lip, anxiety mounting as Gabriel's silence dragged on.

'I need to find a way to distract Father,' she thought, panic creeping in.

Sophie's eyes darted with sudden inspiration. The next moment, she swayed dramatically, feigning weakness as she toppled to the side.
