"Then, beautiful ladies, please follow me. I will take you there right now," Rocky said flatteringly, still pretending to be bewitched by Gloria's beauty.
"Thank you. What a sweet guy you are," Gloria praised. She seemed to be rather satisfied with the attitude that Rocky was showing.
"Of course, it is my honor to be of use to you," Rocky quickly replied.

When Gloria saw this, it was when she realized that she made such a ridiculous mistake. She actually regarded Rocky as a mere servant, when he, in fact, was the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. She also speculated that he had already known their identities right from the start, so he brought them to the square on purpose so that they would not be able to behave rashly.
