Mi-Cha wasn't trusting of Eun-sun's words. She could feel a lie somewhere in her words. She might not know Eun-sun well, and it was wrong to call her a liar, but she couldn't just help the doubt she felt about it.
Something was amiss. She had heard Eun-sun's conversation with the assassin, and she'd be a fool to dismiss what they had said as nothing.
Eun-sun seemed aware of what she was talking about, and the man had reacted accordingly. Why else had he hesitated when he was at an advantage? She was only an adopted child; hence she could be a disposable casualty in this war, but somehow things had played out differently in a way that confused her.
Eun-sun observed the intent look on Mi-Cha's face as she kept staring at her. She tried to still the guilty and rapid blink of her eyes.
"Are you telling me the truth?" Mi-Cha suddenly asked after a few seconds of prolonged silence, and Eun-sun bobbed her head.
