'?!'
Suddenly taken aback by Drishti's words, Malphas halted his fingers while drawing a circle on his palm, realizing he had been seen through much sooner than anticipated. He loosened his hands, conceding defeat.
"I apologize, Lady Drishti," Malphas murmured, nodding slightly, his eyes glancing towards the direction from which he had just escaped.
"Weren't you all wanted to deal with me?" Drishti asked with an amused expression. Already aware of the reason behind the Demon Queen's war against Titanora.
"Aren't I right?" she turned her sharp gaze towards Malphas, who suddenly felt a force binding his body.
"No... It was an orde..." Malphas tried to reject the accusation, but his mouth moved on its own, uttering words beyond his control and revealing the truth but he struggled, managing to suppress his voice with sheer will, even going far as to harm himself.
