"After all, with every fresh start... comes a new beginning."

"I agree," Heine said.

"There is always something to learn about a person. Would you not agree, Lady Sinclair...? If that's who you really are."

3rd person's POV

There's at least one thing in everyone's lives that they want to try to find. Whether it's embarrassing or weird, people hide it for their own sake. Of course, that was no expectation for Y/n. She had her share of secrets as well... but she didn't expect one of them to be found out by Heine.

Y/n stopped in her tracks when she heard this. She did not expect that from Heine. She then turned around and simply had a small smile on her face, a mischievous one at that.

"I'm sorry Professor Heine... but could you please explain what you said?"

Heine looked at the woman who was only a few feet away from him. This was the person who was alongside him for almost the whole day... the one who helped with the interviews... the one who he had started to get to know a bit better... was now an unknown person altogether.

"It is just as I said... you are not who you say you are."

Y/n's eyes which were once bright started to slowly dim in a matter of seconds.

"Is that so? If I am not who you say I am, then tell me professor... who is this lady standing before you?" In a cold yet slightly wicked voice.

"Please do tell me... what makes you think... that I am not who I am?"

Heine was getting ready for anything that was coming. The person that he thought he knew slightly was now a complete stranger... and maybe a dangerous one at that.

"While I'm not sure that you are the real 'Lady Sinclair', or even if a person exists by that name, the way that you handled things today... was a bit impressive. That is what gave you away."

Y/n was slightly intrigued by what he said.

"How so?"

"To begin with, you are not like any other woman I have seen. You are indeed very fast and also possess agility."

Flashback

"H⎯Huh? You can keep up with my sprint? Heh, not bad... for a woman."

"Say... Professor Heine, how would you care for a run?"

"You were incredibly quick on your feet, and as I sensed there was no lack of confidence in every word you said. There was also the time when you were able to out-match everything that Prince Bruno threw at us.
