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.
