Out of all the suggestions or plans that Dame would have come up with, one of the last ones would be to reveal who Raze really was—the fact that he was the Dark Magus. Although he was wearing the disguise mask, and there was no way to discern his real face, it still came as a shock.
'What in Alterian are you doing!' Raze shouted internally. 'What difference would it make if she were to find out I'm the Dark Magus? Are you trying to leverage the debt that she owes me?'
It seemed like an incredibly risky move because, in Raze's head, he was only there when Rayna was saved, but the Crimson Crane were the ones who had done most of the work.
Little did he know that she felt differently. In her eyes, the Crimson Crane and her had only survived because of the Dark Magus. On top of that, there was another reason. Dame was basing this whole thing on the last conversation they had.
