'That guy... Isn't he the one who helped me?' Shia also recognised Gabriel as the one who protected her.
She remembered how Gabriel reacted when he heard her full name. It was clear that he didn't even know that the Alecton Family was the Royal Family when he arrived here. Could he really have schemed so much in advance without even knowing about the Royal Family?
Unlike Azia who had just changed her mind in favor of her father, Shia who had always believed in her father before was now starting to doubt him.
Since Gabriel didn't even know about her family, he really couldn't have schemed in advance. She couldn't help but wonder if his story about only recently finding out about the changes was true. In that case, he really couldn't have schemed all this.
