Mathias' face grew awkward as he knew he was caught.
Stacy was looking at him with anger and shock, while the white cat continued to bite his arm.
Stacy quickly took the cat off of Mathias' arm.
"Aspro, thanks," Stacy said as she patted the white cat's head and petted it.
After the cat, named Aspro, jumped out the window, Stacy turned her cold gaze back to Mathias.
"How did you get here?" Stacy asked Mathias coldly.
"I just got here..." Mathias lied with a straight face.
"Really?" Stacy looked at him with suspicion.
"Yeah..." Mathias replied.
Stacy's expression became even colder.
"Don't lie! I know you're lying!" Stacy shouted at Mathias, clearly angry.
"Don't you believe me?" Mathias tried to lie further, but seeing that Stacy's expression was not improving, he sighed helplessly.
"Alright, I've been here for a while before you noticed." Mathias admitted.
"What!?" Stacy was astonished and shocked when she heard this.
"How did you do it?" she asked.
Stacy was one of the more talented mages among her siblings.
She could feel a mana surrounding Mathias earlier that dissipated as it was interrupted by the cat.
She was curious about the magic Mathias had used and thought it might be useful to her.
"It's because of a stealth magic spell I used," Mathias decided to tell the truth.
"What spell?" Stacy asked eagerly.
"Shadow Walk," Mathias said simply.
"Shadow Walk? I don't remember a stealth spell with that name," Stacy said, nodding. "What about the chant?"
Although Stacy was angry at Mathias, she wanted to learn the spell he used.
"What chant?" Mathias asked, confused.
The previous Mathias was not talented in magic and didn't even know anything about it, so he didn't know how the mage system worked.
"Don't act dumb! The chant of the spell!" Stacy shouted angrily.
Seeing that Mathias was still pretending not to know, she shouted angrily, "You better tell me the chant and the method of the Shadow Walk spell as compensation for entering a lady's room, or I'll tell our father!"
