"And Zelsh?" Jarrit asked.
"Yes. In fact, Zelsh is even more cooperative than Rhyner."
Astounded, Jarrit took in a deep breath and looked around the table. He noticed the surprise on Vloz's and Ania's faces as well, along with confusion filling Puula's unusually expressive eyes.
The man added, "Either way, both men have decided to take part in my plans, each learning their share of what I intend to accomplish. How else do you think Rhyner learned about the treason King Portro was committing? And how would Oli's sudden appearance work so coincidentally well with Rhyner's own goals, such as hiding his son's potential? There are too many coincidences to count in retrospect, but that's because I'm doing my best to anticipate what comes next. So, you're welcome."
Jarrit was speechless. His inquisitive mind was too uncertain of what to ask next to even say a word.
