Chapter 290. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [61]


    Immediately after persuading Rose,


    「Allen, can you come here for a bit?」


    Ria asked, looking straight into my eyes. Her clear azure eyes were very beautiful and contained a “charm” that cannot be expressed in words.


    「Yes, what is it?」


    「I just want to make sure… Everything you said is the truth, right?」she asked, tilting her neck.


    「Of course. As a swordsman – no, as a man, I will never peep!」


    I declared, looking straight into Ria’s eyes.


    After a few moments passed,


    「I see. I believe you, Allen.」


    She smiled gently, and let out a breath of relief.


    「Huh, really!?」


    「Yes, of course. Don’t tell this to anyone else, but I – the “Vesteria royal family” has a certain “power”.」Ria whispered in a very quiet voice so that only I could hear it.


    「A certain “power”?」


    「Yes. That is… “the power to spot lies”. If I focus my attention and look at the other person’s eyes, I can intuitively know if that person is lying.」


    She said, revealing her secret to me.
