After Irene's unexpected reply, silence fell in the room.
Idan and Arabel were at a loss and looked at each other, unable to believe what they had just heard.
"Miss Irene, are you sure?" asked Idan, wanting to make sure of her words.
"Yes, Ethan, I'm sure. I can't be wrong about that," Irene replied firmly.
"If that's the case, then who are these people pretending to be members of your Guild?" said Idan after some thought. "Everyone here considers them part of your Guild, Miss Irene. Even Arslan thinks so."
"I do not know, Ethan. I'm wondering who they are myself," Irene said, and Idan noticed the concern in her voice when he mentioned Arslan.
"Don't worry, Miss Irene, we will definitely look into what is happening while we deal with your personal request," Idan assured her. "Besides, I'd like to know..."
Using their connection, Idan asked Irene his questions one by one. She answered the ones she knew, and decided to find out what she didn't know and share it with him later.
