Then the Alchemist spread his hands and, at that moment, shook his head straightforwardly, saying.
"That's not the case, Your Excellency, I assure you, I hold no other inappropriate thoughts regarding this matter."
Such a statement was entirely unnecessary, but he thought it might be valuable and thus, it came forth from his lips.
The attitude he displayed and the posture he assumed towards the situation seemed to be one of savoring the matter playfully.
However, this behavior was as if, despite nothing being there, he was acting out of fear towards the issue.
This action, without a doubt, revealed something more in front of Violet.
As Violet looked at the Alchemist, her gaze was slowly, oh so slowly, changing.
It was a deliberate shift, made to show the other clearly that she was dealing with and adjusting to the situation at hand.
Then, as Violet faced what she saw before her, it was as if she clearly understood what it all meant for her.
