Holy ground
Upon hearing that this new girl suddenly indicating that both of them belongs to the same clan, Claire was surprised and immediately pointed it out, "Azrael, aren't you an orphan with a common background?"
Barbara, who realized the mistake, closed her mouth with the hands instantly, "oops…"
Azzy who was stiffened by Barbara's loose tongue now became angry after seeing her reaction.
He quickly thought of an excuse on the spot, "No, she was just referring to her clan in a formal way."
Claire just stared at him in silence as if she was thinking he was kidding. Thankfully, the blank expression on him helped at the moment and made her believe his words.
Since Barbara is a member of the nobility, Claire also thought it might be possible. The only suspicious thing is the girl's reaction. It appeared as if she blurted out a secret.
Meanwhile, Azzy wondered whether this cousin of his really managed to keep the fact that she's time traveled.
