Chapter 866: Unfair
Eating their meal first was important indeed.
While eating, they had their usual conversation after being apart - checking on each other’s health, their eating and sleeping habits, and updating each other about how things were on their end.
Arabella also relayed her side of the story about how things were during the war with Crux and what she witnessed when Alwin arrived wounded and what happened afterwards which led to his collapse.
"You were in the room, and you got out of the protective barrier. Repeatedly as well," Ferdinand noted.
’Ooops!’
Arabella froze when she realized she forgot she was not supposed to be there.
Before the war began, Ferdinand told her she should stay at a safe place and receive reports from there during the war.
However, Arabella wanted to be hands-on and see the rescued Prudencians with her own eyes and help with the work as much as she could.
Thus, she was monitoring things closely and even repeatedly got out of the protective barrier Alwin made that isolated her location from everyone else.
Ferdinand saw her actions from the records taken by the surveillance magic tools in every room in the Magic Tower used during the war; and thus, knew she did not keep her word.
"I-It was safe since proper checks were done. And the protective barrier was there. I didn’t get out of the barrier carelessly. Only when I was sure there were no intruders or posers. And nothing wrong happened," Arabella quickly reasoned.
