Caddel could still recall how the Queen had dragged Alain by his arm into the secret chamber. He had been skeptical on whether it would be wise to reveal himself or not, refusing to act based on just his nudging emotions, but before he could decide on what motion would work best, the little boy had bit Carmela by her wrist, eliciting a sharp cry from her throat.
"Argh!! Why you little–!!"
The children in the cage had shrunk back due to her painful cry, and that gave Alain's friends the opportunity they needed to get out of their cage before she noticed.
However, Caddel was momentarily awestruck to see Carmela bleeding from the bite, only for her to release the boy harshly. The little boy's eyes had switched from brown to the shade of blood, there was nothing humane about it, but what grabbed his curiosity was the blankness in his gaze.
