"Aria," Lady Leah cut in, "how is he meant to know how your father is, he can't possibly walk through the Mirage Forest like a walk in the garden." She tried reasoning with Aria.
"Shh!" Princess Aria hushed, "Let him speak." She nodded for Allen to continue.
"Well... umm... I umm..." He suddenly felt nervous at the prospect of actually having to compromise his identity.
"Is my father alright?" She snarled, taking his hesitation for defiance to their initial agreement.
"Ever since your disappearance, all news regarding the Castle and it's activities were withheld in utmost secrecy." Allen couldn't bare to look her in the eyes.
"How exactly did you-" Lady Leah grew suspicious.
"So in other words, you don't know anything about my father?" She hissed.
"No! No!" Allen waved his hand, "There was a time the news about anyone who could think of a plan to locate the Kingdom of Azalon, bringing you back, would be awarded a position in His Majesty's Royal household."
