[Ellie's P.O.V.]
"Anton, it's me," said I. His voice earlier made my heart tremble.
I didn't understand why Anton looked even sadder than I was after he found out the truth, to the point of locking himself in his room without eating or drinking.
The pain I had been expecting wasn't as bad because the wizard had given me a pill to temporarily suppress the pain. I swallowed it without hesitation the moment I received it when we left with the wizard that day because I didn't want to scare Myron.
It was only after I had taken the medicine that I realized the culprit might find out that I didn't suffer this time. But thankfully, the wizard said that he was able to develop a pill that would temporarily counter the effects of the potion without the culprit finding out. After all, the wizard was the originator of the potion. I admired the wizard for his remarkable talent.
