Reclaimed Confidence  

"Got everything you needed?"

Evie was startled at the sudden appearance of the man in her thoughts.

"E-excuse me?"

"The map and our information. Have you got it?"

". . ." Evie's pupils rounded before she looked at anything that her eyes could lay rest. It was a good thing that the others ahead were occupied with their chatter and that Ren's voice was low.

"I . . . I don't know what you're talking about." Evie had no idea how Ren figured it out. Was she so obvious? Or was it because he was suspicious of her, just like with the rest after Robert's betrayal.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell the truth. But just let me say a few words."

Evie opened her mouth, but no letters were out. Could she keep lying even if she was found out? Or would she tell the truth, free herself from the guilt, and risk not getting a contract with one of the most sought-after guilds?

She was torn, and her stoic face cracked for the first time.
