Old Chon placed a hand on Torence's hand, "I can vouch for the integrity of this young man. He is nothing like his father, in all the best ways possible. I want to give him the chance to make amends and to lead a good life."
Aether listened in silence. He had his own suspicions on how much the old butler said was true. As far as he could tell, the butler was not lying. The young man indeed had some resemblance to the Baron.
Looking up at Vy, he realised she too had her doubts. But she had also made up her mind. But to the old butler and young man, her expressions were unreadable.
"Miss Blackfire. You don't know me… and neither do I know you well. I admit I have heard many things about you. I made my assumptions about what sort of person you are-"
Vy stopped him from speaking to ask him a question, "Torence, do you know what your father did?"
"Yes, I do," he replied swiftly.
"Old Chon here told you everything?" she asked for confirmation.
