"So, you weren't affected by the Red Bean Fragrance?"
"I think the true one affected by the Red Bean Fragrance is you, Mona."
Mona was startled by these words, took a step back, and looked at Clive with wide blue eyes.
Clive, however, took a step forward, stood in front of Mona, looked down at her, and said, "Do you remember the scene when I woke up that day?"
"Grandfather, father, mother, the sorcerer, none of them were there."
"I deliberately chose that time to wake up."
"What?"
"Because I knew you were there."
"Arthur, you..."
"If I pretended to be affected by the Red Bean Fragrance, I would have a reason to get close to your O'Hara family. Moreover, while staying with you, I could use you to explore all the secret rooms and basements of your family to find where my unfortunate mother was hiding."
Use?
So, he had only used her all along.
