The trap was disarmed, and Sarah was given some water and a chair so she could calm herself down.
Ariana and Annabelle had also woken up after hearing the commotion. Well, Annabelle only woke up after Ariana shook her violently while calling out things like "Darling."
Now, the three ladies were facing the violet-haired woman, who was still quite pale from the sudden blockage of blood flow caused by the trap.
Annabelle wore an openly wary expression, while the other two looked uncertain.
"The trap… I believe it was Adrian's doing?" Sarah asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Ruby nodded. "And guess what? It fulfilled its purpose," she said, half-jokingly.
Sarah lowered her head. "I apologize. I didn't want to come here like this, but I was being chased."
"By who?" Ariana asked.
Sarah's brows drew together as she confessed, "By my father's men. They know that I saw him meeting the cult's leader."
