Rael nearly choked on his saliva when he realized she wasn't lying. But how was that possible?
Sure, he didn't read her mind, but that was because he had no intention of reading the minds of the people he was close to or even cared about.
But more importantly, his Primordial Sight never picked up on any lie.
And before his thoughts could spiral out of control, Lilith took the first sip, which soon turned into a large gulp. Within seconds, she finished her cup and exhaled a relieved breath.
"Phew, this really is the stuff," Lilith said, her smile still wide. "Honestly, no matter how many times I drink it, it still tastes good. Hm? Why aren't you drinking yours?"
"..."
"Lilith, do you really remember me?"
Lilith nodded. "Of course. We first met at that summit, after that..."
She began retelling their first meeting, and then their second meeting right after that. It was shocking to hear everything firsthand.
