Vlad looked worried as he asked, "Do you mean that Arden did not hand over the kingdom to him, but he ceasaed it from Arden?"
"Yes."
"I have noticed that he has changed and I saw the power-restricting bracelet on Ariana's wrist, but how can I trust that you are truly my cousin?" Vlad asked seriously and Vincent placed his hand in his pocket.
He pulled out a very small mirror and flashed it across his face as he held it at a distance. Vlad looked into it and saw Vincent's true face. He had carried the mirror with him in case Arden or Vlad did not believe him since mirrors revealed enchantments. Vlad nodded as he smiled while Vincent quickly pushed the mirror back in his pocket.
"Vincent, what a great disguise. No one would suspect it is you. Now, what is your plan and what do you need me to do?"
"Firstly, I want to know why Tobias invited only you and Fitz to his wedding and not the other kingdoms."
