Cautious

Once the door closed, Alwin flicked his fingers again to return the barrier so Rendell would not hear what they were to speak about.

"Do you believe now?

Rendell didn't find me suspicious.

I am Alwin.

My deepest apologies for mentioning His Highness.

I had to resort to it since you pretended like you didn't know anything about what I talked about.

I wanted to make sure.

When I mentioned the Young Master, your façade shattered so I was able to confirm it all," Alwin pointed out.

"Ehh?!

So, the one I stabbed is the real Alwin?"

Arabella gasped.

"Oh my god!

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry!"

'What have I done?!!'

She checked his hand, and it was fully healed.

Thank goodness he was so adept at healing magic.

Still, it must have hurt.

Touching his hand didn't feel strange or make her feel scared.

Could she believe him now?

But she felt so much hostility from him earlier.

However, he explained that it was why he had to hypnotize himself for the act to be perfect.
