Neither Willem nor Alice could believe their eyes.
Samael... this was the same boy who had once been so meek, so timid, such a spineless pushover.

They'd heard how the youngest of the Theosbanes had grown into a delinquent over the years.
But hearing about it was one thing. Seeing it with their own eyes was another.
And then there was the crude way he spoke to them.
To them!
Royals of the Central!
This was the same boy who once couldn't even look Alice in the eyes without trembling, and now he had the gall to threaten to cut out her tongue.
But the most shocking thing of all wasn't his words. It was the fact that he could back it all up with his strength.
