Even without Spade telling who the aunt was that he was talking about, it was none other than Princess Norreen. Instantly, his grip on the alpha's clothes tightened.
Fortunately, as it was only a name, the effect of his fear on her wasn't enough to make him tremble. However, as his expression changed and somewhat became pale, he knew Spade had noticed something was wrong with him.
The alpha immediately became worried and furrowed his brows, Spade touched his cheeks and spoke in a concerned tone, "What's wrong?"
Arren swallowed in difficulty, trying to calm himself, but his grip on the alpha's clothes did not loosen. He opened his mouth, his eyes heating up, and he was hesitant to tell Spade the truth.
This was different from the things he was revealing to Spade about what he knew about the organization or the plot. In that situation, even if he was suspicious, he could still trust Arren's words, or at least ponder them in a rational way so as not to hurt his feelings.
