55 The Uninvited Guest

To Benjamin, the identity as a mage was his lifeline, so it must not be revealed under any circumstances. For the knife-scarred man to discover his identity so easily made him feel uneasy.

Could it be that he exposed himself in some way?

He felt the need to find the answer so he could at least prevent it from happening again. What if he were to accidentally make the same mistake again in front of the bishop? He would be dead on the spot if that happened.

And so, Benjamin questioned him.

However, what came out from the mouth of the knife scarred man was this:

"I… I didn’t realize you are a m-mage. I felt suspicious and simply… simply asked you… to test you. I didn’t expect… you to be a real mage."

"..."

Damn, I thought too much again.

Benjamin felt a little disappointed to receive such an answer. However, from another perspective this proved that there were no flaw in his disguise, right?

He relaxed a little.
