"You saw my granddaughter's real form, right?"
A pin-drop silence descended inside the room after Maximilian asked his question.
Lux's first thought was to deny it, but he knew that lying to a Saint was very risky. In the end, he decided to come clean and tell Maximilian everything that happened.
"I should have knocked when I went to Cai's room," Lux started. "I saw her real form by accident."
"Good," Maximilian commented. "If you lied just now, I would have slapped you silly, but since you admitted your wrongdoing, and it was truly an accident, I will forgive you."
A playful smile appeared on Maximilian's face as he eyed Lux with satisfaction.
