I did not know how Ingenious found out about the little meeting that the six of us had with HinoKun and the other Dominion members, but his piercing gaze made my skin crawl. I did nothing wrong, but why did I feel guilty all of a sudden?
"Yes," I admitted.
Ingenious let out a heavy sigh as soon as he heard my answer. I was not sure what that meant. Did he expect me to lie? Did he expect me to tell the truth? Was he disappointed? Was he relieved?
I did not know what else to say, so I just said sorry. Ingenious waved his hand at me in a dismissing motion.
"No need to say sorry. We are not in a kingdom and I am not your tyrant king. What do you need to be sorry about?"
"I have a feeling that you are disappointed with me?"
"I can't say that I am not, but we all lead our own lives individually in this world. Who's to say whether I do right and you do wrong?"
