"You're right. It's frustrating, but we have to hold our anger back for now. I believe our enemy doesn’t have any precautions set in place. He'll definitely reveal himself soon!"
Selena finally calmed down after a while. How could she not control herself when Fane was able to control himself and drink the poison even after knowing that the water had been poisoned?
