Merci looked at Lydia in shock after seeing the sword's power come to life. She wasn't scared nor shaken by its power knowing that Lydia wouldn't do something as dumb as attacking her. She watched as Lydia's white eyes glowed followed by a radiant smile of joy on her face.
"It responded to you! hmm."
"I can see…" Lyda cackled as she scanned the room with excitement. She had a smile on her face, the one that you could find on a cheerful child. But immediately cringed after noticing how unlively the room was and even cringed more when she realized she was standing in front of a child with a pair of pointed ears on her head. This was not what she had expected to see.
All her excitement died when she saw the smugness on her face and she realized that this was all going according to the girl's plan. She didn't need to be super smart to see that.
