The frozen look on the face of the woman and her cracked eyes told Reynold that he was deeply mistaken. The case was not as simple as that.
He coughed again. Was he too hasty just now!? He looked at the girl and then at the note in his hands.
No matter how he thought, he could not find any other reason for it and when the girl blinked and finally came back to her senses.
"That.. It is the title of the book the princess is reading in the library. I wanted to show it because I find it odd. I want you to pass the message to his majesty!" the girl said as she looked away. Her eyes had turned completely red and her face flushed hard.
She looked like she had seen a ghost.
"......." Reynold felt like he should dig a hole and busy himself in it until she forgot his words. He wanted to smack himself so badly.
It was not her thoughts! What was he even thinking? How did he imagine so much on his own when the girl never said anything?
