Once again concealing himself completely, Alexander smiled when he heard Michelle speak. She indeed did use a lousy excuse. It was hard to believe that the Dark Lord himself would come down to the upper realm to recruit a new member of the Dark Palace.
But when considering the fact that Alexander had given Michelle the black pendant that gave her the identity of his spouse, and put the same authority as he had into her hands, she basically did become a member of the Dark Palace. And Alexander did come down personally to recruit her.
So Michelle's excuse wasn't complete bullshit.
While thinking about that, Alexander's gaze moved to Michelle's hand. One of the things no disguise mask could hide was the black scar that Michelle had on her hand, left behind from contracting the black pendant.
With Alexander once again concealed, peace seemingly returned to the courtyard.
But the gazes of the two men present were crooked when they looked at Michelle.
