"So … care to tell me what on earth happened?" Ace asked, sitting on a chair, legs crossed in front of him as he stared at the boy sitting opposite to him, still hanging his head.
His wings nestled comfortably on the sides of the chair, both sides and behind it. Though Ace had to break the back of the chair to make sure that they had a place to be.
"Well, we thought you were dead, so the general sent the letter to your brother. I think he was going to take your body back to the palace with him to report to the king properly, but … you woke up.
"You are alive." River said, smiling up at Ace. "And I think a lot of things happened so we did not have the chance to properly process anything and forgot about that letter we sent."
Ace rubbed his temples, sighing to himself. That must be why Ajax came here. If he thought that I was dead because of this place, he would have been out for revenge. It all makes sense now.
