Fen's eyes twitched when he heard Victor reacting like that to his reveal. The stinging feeling of lying to his friends made it hard for the young arcanist to keep his face straight.
'But I didn't really lie all that much… After all, isn't that guy also a descendant of the Phoenix as well?'
Justifying the situation to himself just to keep his composure going for a little longer, Fen moved his eyes towards Orsha's face. But instead of noticing a surprise, the girl was openly tightening her fists with an anxious expression on her face.
"Fen… While this reveal is huge and it alone could turn our situation for a far better one if you agreed to use it properly… I'm still worried about the situation in the south. Given how those people saved your life, I assume you are not going to just ignore their request, are you?"
