Doaf glanced in silence towards Arthur while knowing how serious this talk was. "He is acting strange, I admit that. However, that doesn't mean I doubt him."
"Have you spoken to your surviving men?" Arthur noticed how careful Doaf was in selecting his words and that made him know he got the message.
But he didn't believe it.
"I… spoke with some," Doaf said.
"And?"
"What do you want to say?" Doaf directly asked, "I want to hear it from you."
"If you want it this way," Arthur took a deep breath, "from what I learnt, my godfather didn't leave the world behind without proper defenses. In fact I bet he left it with enough defenses to last for a long time, right?"
Doaf didn't answer but nodded for Arthur to continue.
"Many expressed their doubts about what happened. I didn't ask for the entire story, neither will I. But you should."
"Why?" Doaf simply said, "what happened there must be known only to a handful of people."
