He's Lying, Right?

"Wh… What is he talking about, mother? What does he... he doesn't mean that, does he?" Alanor breathed out, roughly, his breath hitching in his voice, and his eyes shifting between Edison's lifeless form and Criselda who was seated behind the barrier, watching him worriedly.

Alanor always knew Edison was a manipulative liar and that was also why when he looked at his mother he expected Criselda to be sneering at the man for trying and failing to manipulate her son with his words.

However, this time, she wasn't doing anything that could get her anger towards Edison known, no.

Instead, Criselda was looking at her beautiful son worriedly, her eyes and head almost bowed in shame, like she hadn't expected this to happen. She was running away from something, and that wasn't right with Alanor.
