Mirel's eyelids were opened wide, he stared at Lucivar's eyes with a shaking heart.
He knew that the matter—about the doppelganger was a big one it already threatened to kill Bakar and almost succeeded. In his mind, he wasn't taking this lightly at all. But knowing that he was stronger than Lucivar made him subconsciously do the opposite.
It was now clear that he was underestimating the doppelganger.
On a small part of his mind, he was confident that he wouldn't get killed as he was stronger.
But now that Lucivar rubbed his strength, he realized that he was mistaken.
Lucivar had gotten stronger and if he managed an ambush, Mirel would likely meet death.
Just the emerald chains that were restraining him alone show that he could be killed.
