Princess Seraphina and Emily were not able to control their expressions as well and were gawking at Alvis, wondering how he was still alive.
Even if it was for penitence, consuming the same poison was a bit much.
Alvis controlled his expression when he realized he let something slip. He gave them a fake smile and said, "Yes. It hurt so much at first but I got used to it after some time."
[It's the only thing I have been consuming for several millennia. It's nothing but tea to me now.] Alvis thought.
'It runs in the blood indeed,' Arabella concluded.
She learned that Alvis only stopped drinking it when he learned Alwin was alive and met him for the first time.
Alvis drank the tea Alwin served him and had been consuming the same tea since then.
