Tahimik ang buong pasilidad habang sila ay nanatiling nakatitig sa lalaking nakaupo lamang sa single seater couch. Nakapikit ang mga mata nito habang magkadikit ang mga kamay nito. He's tapping his finger on the back of his other hand slowly.

"We told you all about Zai, all she did and how she acted. She was normal. Now, can you tell us if you'll help us or not?" Wein said as he sit across him. He was the one who mostly told Alexander everything he wants to know. Eto rin ang may lakas loob na titigan sa mga mata ang nakakasindak na lalaki.

Ngunit hindi siya nakakuha ng sagot mula sa lalaki. Nanatili itong nakapikit habang marahan na tinatapik ang likod ng kaniyang kamay gamit ang kaniyang hintuturo. His leg is on top of the other and they would admit that he feels more intimidating looking like that.

Alexander slightly opened his sharp eyes and just stared at the floor. Normal huh..

He then moved. He rested his cheek against his knuckles and he even noticed how they flinched with his sudden movements. He then gazed at Wein. Wein's hands, that are on his lap, clenched because of how spine-chilling his eyes are. He mentally groaned. What the heck is wrong with their bloodline? Is being scary comes along with their name?

"You said that her actions became suspicious after succeeding a mission, am I right?" Alexander asked.

"Y-Yes. She gradually turned colder and more quiet. Akala namin ay normal lang 'yon dahil sa posisyon niya bilang captain pero we couldn't understand her anymore when she was taken to an interrogation," pagsagot rito ni Zera. Zera's eyes then softened, "The day she completed that mission, I went to her room to see how she's doing but what I witnessed was a different her. Her eyes were cold and it seems that she found excitement in killing. I couldn't believe that it was actually her."

Alexander smirked, "Well it was her, the real one," lahat ay tumingin rito, "Zai hates to act on emotions alone. She hates it when it is just pure emotions that has no killing intent behind it. The way you explained everything to me, it seems that what you saw was the child version of her. A child who shows her emotions without any care in the world and that's not Zai. Zai was never the kind of girl who would act so normal. She refuse to be ordinary. That's just how she is."

Jebal clenched his jaw, "We already know that. We know how much she despise her own weaknesses, we can see that with our own eyes. We know her."

Alexander's sharp eyes stared at Jebal, "You say that but you have never once read what's on her mind since she reverted back to her old self, did you?"

Tumahimik ang buong kwarto pagkatapos no'n. Alexander temporarily closed his eyes then he continued speaking when he opened them, "She was arrested. And the head of the council himself came to see her. That could only mean that someone told the council about her. I want to know who it is."

Lahat ng mga miyembro ng Kings Dormitory at ang mga Alpha ay tumingin sa direksyon ni Christa. Nahalata ang kaba sa mga mukha nito. She spoke up, "I-I had to. S-She knows some things that the council needed to know!" depensa nito na may nagbabadyang mga luha sa gilid ng kaniyang mga mata.

Alexander chuckled as he stare at the girl, "Zai must've hated you. You're the type who would ignore a handshake from a more superior woman, aren't you?"

Natahimik ang kwarto at nagkaroon ng kaunting ilangan. Pare-pareho lamang ang nasa isip ng mga ito. That's what she actually did.

Muling sumeryoso ang ekspresyon ni Alexander, "And I would say that it was idiotic of you to do that." lahat ay nagtaka sa sinabi nito.
