My chest hammered.
She knew?
"I don't know what you mean," I said, forcing myself to sound calm.
Ruth stared at me, a faint smile still playing on her lips. Her sharp blue eyes seemed to pierce right through every lie I tried to hide.
"Hmm…" she hummed low. "You're funny. Do you realize you just imitated what that woman said a moment ago?"
Shit! I screamed inside. She really knew. But how? I was sure no one had seen. Or did she have some special ability to track me?
From the way she spoke, she was already convinced I'd been pretending to be the Iron Knight. But she had no hard proof. What could she even do if I was impersonating him? Report me to the authorities? Should I use [Time Stop] and make a run for it? No, that wouldn't solve anything. It would just make me look even more suspicious. For now, my only option was to deny everything.
