"Yes, I understand."
The young witch nodded gently, aware of the threat in Miss Galina's words:
"I have no malice towards Mr. Hamilton, but I need to confirm his situation..."
"We don't know the reason for now, but we can confirm that it can't be replicated."
"That's good."
Miss Sylvia nodded, her brows still furrowed. She looked at Shard, who was wiping his lips:
"But how could this be?"
Becoming a Grand Witch allowed her to understand what the Witch System entailed. As a price, the curses the witches bore should not have allowed a loophole like Shard:
"Miss Galina, are you truly sure this gentleman is a man?"
"Yes, he even slept with my great-niece. I checked his hair and blood and am very sure he is an ordinary human with no special exotic bloodline."
Hearing Miss Galina say this, Miss Sylvia stopped inquiring further, but it was clear that she was more concerned about the reason behind this phenomenon than whether Shard's existence would affect the Witch Council.
