"It is foolish, you know?"
Veylara spoke as she looked into Kael's eyes.
"Playing tricks in a world you know nothing about."
"Huh…?"
"You think you are surrounded by enemies.
Who is your prime suspect?
The Crown Prince?"
"!!!"
The woman questioned directly, and Kael blinked in surprise, unable to understand what had just happened.
"W-What are you talking about?"
He tried to feign ignorance but...
"See? You did it again. You stutter when you suddenly have to feign ignorance or lie.
Everyone can lie when they are prepared, Hero Kael. Learn how to lie spontaneously and make it look believable."
"…"
Kael remained silent.
What could he even say?
"Mhm, remaining silent is better too. At least you do not give away what you are thinking. But learn how to hide your expression—I can see your confusion and nervousness on your face. It directly gives me power in our conversation."
'Is… is this woman teaching me deception…?'
