Ymir realized that His Majesty simply panicked, thinking that he had been fooled by Odette this whole time.
However, he still believed that His Majesty was too rough on the lady. Ymir could tell from her body heat and saw the engorged blood vessels around her wrist. If she was the dark witch in prophecy, wouldn't she be powerful enough not to get hurt so easily? This frail lady was no stronger than a regular human at this point.
"Your Majesty, my kin—all reptile beastmen, have the ability to sense body heat. From what I saw, Lady Odette was truly scared when you confronted her just now," Ymir pointed out.
"I know. I can see it, too," the Masked Alpha admitted. "But I still don't know if she is truly a dark witch or not. Everything about her feels so… convenient, and it's hard for me not to be fond of her, especially with her wearing my mate's original face."
