"Scarlet?" Gabriel blurted out as the figure fully came into view.
For a brief moment, he actually had no words. Out of everyone he expected to see after waking up, Scarlet was close to the bottom of that list.
Scarlet closed the door behind her with one hand and walked in calmly. She was dressed simply, but even like that, her posture still carried that authoritative presence. The folded towel in her hand made the scene look almost normal, which only made it stranger.
"You are awake," she said calmly.
Gabriel stared at her for a second longer, then his eyes shifted down and across his body. The armor he wore inside the castle was gone. More importantly, the helmet was also gone.
That made his expression tighten slightly.
If Scarlet had taken off the armor, then she already knew one thing for certain.
He was not Darius Aston.
Scarlet seemed to read that from his face. She placed the towel on the chair and looked at him without much expression.
