After the awkward dinner, Ruald invited Riel to his study room. Though they went to a quite a lot of effort to stop the two from following them to the study, they eventually managed to persuade the three, by Riel promising to have a talk with them after he finished with Ruald and stay for the night.
"Well, care to tell me what was that all about…?" (Riel)
Told him in an irritated tone. noticing Riel's discomfort, Ruald quickly apologized to him.
"I ask for forgiveness in their steeds… it's just that I had told my family about your circumstances before-…" (Ruald)
Replied Ruald with an apologetic and guilt tone, but Riel quickly cut him off.
"The hell did you do!? What if this somehow known to others if they slip out of their mouth!?" (Riel)
[dammit! I had told him that I wanted this to remain a secret, and used the blood oath. Why didn't I feel anything when he broke the spell!?] (Riel)
