"Easy, easy," Mark said, raising both hands to calm them. "That's exactly the other thing we need to talk about…"
The five looked at him in silence.
Mark settled in the throne and let out a short sigh before continuing.
"There's a reason I decided to tell you all this now, and not before," Mark said. "And that reason has to do with exactly what happened in the Demon Lord's dungeon."
Ely visibly tensed at hearing that.
"What does that woman have to do with any of this?" she asked with a furrowed brow.
"She knew."
"Knew what?"
"That I'm a reincarnated person…"
"…"
Hearing Mark's words, everyone fell silent.
Aria blinked incredulously several times, Alice raised her eyes from the floor, and Yuki, who had been quiet the entire time, tilted her head slightly.
Then Ely was once again the first to speak.
"How is it possible that she knew that?"
"I have no idea…"
