If the room weren't so crowded, Daneel would definitely have been found out by now, due to how wide open his eyes were.
The reason behind him being startled wasn't the content of the statement from Ashahell. After all, he had seen his intention to 'defend Angaria' before, during his first meeting with the man.
No, his shock came from Ashahell's expression and the determination he heard in his voice, which made him understand that this was truly a feeling that was erupting from the bottom of his heart.
Before, Daneel had at least doubted whether the man had been putting up an act.
However, now, he was pretty sure that it wasn't.
No one could be this good an actor. It was impossible!
The room was circular, with gaggles of people standing all around while the central area was left empty.
There was only one chair in the entire room: and it was very much like a throne.
PLSSSS DUMP THOSE STONES!
