"Stay with your friend, I'll be back shortly," Jason turned around and left the room.
The moment he walked out, after confirming that there was no one monitoring them, the worried expression on the faces of the trio vanished.
"Wow, Klaus, you're such a good actor," Reynolds complimented.
"Well of course, after traveling with my father these few months, my acting skills improved. If not, I'd have been dead by now," Klaus replied proudly, before adding with a smile, "By his hands if I might add,"
"You two are no good," Alice shook her head at the sight of her friends.
"Alice, I believe you should put in more effort. You almost made the Crowned Prince know we were faking it," Klaus lectured.
"I don't like pretending," Alice's reply was simple and straightforward, just like her character.
"Suit yourself," Reynolds and Klaus exchanged glances, clearly, they weren't in line with her words.
