Astoria hadn't expected Aeliana to be so decisive and ruthless in her kill. It also became transparent to her that Aeliana was not in a normal state of mind.
The malevolence and killing intent she displayed was out of control—or so she thought. But after the True Witch was killed, Aeliana's malevolence and killing intent vanished, replaced with concern.
"Are you hurt, Lord Vahn?" Aeliana inquired.
"I'm fine," Vaan calmly replied before adding, "That level of attack was far from enough to harm me. After all, I didn't even budge."
Shortly after it was mentioned, Aeliana and Astoria confirmed the truth with their own eyes. Vaan's shoulder, though slightly wet, wasn't damaged in any shape or form. His outfit was in perfect condition.
The True Witch's water attack spell was meant to push rather than penetrate.
Although Aeliana's reaction was within his expectation, it also came with a surprise.
Ding!
