At this unexpected moment, the situation rapidly developed in unforeseen directions, and Palmer was completely caught off guard. He couldn't understand how Cinderella had suddenly transformed into this state, nor could he comprehend the strange tacit understanding between Ewen and Bologue.
"Cinderella..."
Palmer opened his mouth in confusion. Just then, Canary blocked Palmer, raising the crossbow and pointing it forward with vigilance.
"That's not Cinderella," Canary said. "Cinderella never existed."
Aimou came to his senses, speaking with lingering fear, "This was just an identity used by the Joyous Desire Witch for disguise, one of her many identities."
Palmer's face turned pale as an immense sense of crisis loomed over him. Reflecting on the various happenings along the way, he looked at Ewen in disbelief.
"From the start, were we being watched?"
"I don't know."
