Han-Yeol was utterly speechless now. He had believed he could effortlessly pass himself off as Harkan, but it seemed that Riru was aware of everything.4

[Of course, I only had my suspicions at that time since I believed that Harkan would become a true warrior one day, but being able to toy around with Kandir did not make any sense at all.]3

[I... I see.]1

Harkan was not only physically weak at that time but also mentally fragile. He was so kind that he wouldn't harm an insect, unlike the other canine beastmen, who were quite aggressive and cunning. Yet, Harkan had suddenly become the strongest warrior among them? It was something impossible and defied all logic.0

However, Riru didn't have proof back then, so she decided to believe that Harkan had simply changed for the better.0

[But I became certain after noticing that you kept avoiding talking about our childhood memories. The only explanation for that is if the soul within Harkan was not the real Harkan.]0

[I'm sorry,] Han-Yeol sincerely apologized to her for pretending to be someone he was not and giving her a hard time.0

[No, it's fine,] Riru reassured him.0

[Riru…]0

[It doesn't matter who the real Harkan is, as he has always been cool in my eyes.]0

[Riru…]0

This was how the Bastrolings...0
