"Laia…is…you!"
Those three words seemed to echo in the air, stunning both Lilian and John stiff. John turned his wide gaze to his master, whose eyes were even wider than his. Her face was white as snow, and her lips quivered with a thousand emotions. He had never seen his master this vulnerable emotionally.
He wanted to rebuke Zeras' claims as nothing but lies, as what he had described was too far-fetched. He had his ideas on Laia's relationship with Lilian, as they had identical faces. He had figured they were just sisters, but the truth was far more unbelievable than that. In fact, it was too unbelievable, and he would never have believed Zeras' words if not for one thing; Lilians reaction.
If Zeras' words were false, she would have quickly rebuked Zeras as a lying idiot, but her stunned expression and lack of a reply was more than enough evidence for John to realize the unbelievable claim was true.
