"This person... I..." Shandela faltered, momentarily at a loss for words. At that time, she thought it was merely a whim of the young mistress and hadn't taken it seriously. She could never have imagined that it would be this very person who would turn Magnificent Castle upside down! Far from being an unknown, the explosion he caused at the Huiqiu Mine, akin to the fall of the sun, was enough to etch his name into the memory of everyone on the island for a lifetime. Even she herself... had worked for him for a month."
"...I did indeed meet him. However, he's not quite what you'd expect... The matter is quite complicated. We can talk about it at length some other time."
It wasn't just complicated; the entire matter was cloaked in incredulity. She couldn't figure out how to explain it clearly and still have the other person believe she wasn't tricking her.
"It seems that he has deceived me then..." Elise, however, seemed to have taken it in a completely different direction.
