"That – that – that is hellfire!" the old Mayor cried, jumping up from the chair that he was sitting on. "That is really hellfire! I would never be mistaken about this! But – but – but how does Prince Raven of the Obsidian Kingdom possess hellfire? How is this even possible?!"
"What is going on here?" Jules's mild voice rang out from the door.
That was fast, Mana thought to herself. Vanilla had just left moments ago and now she was back with Big Brother Jules already!
The old Mayor turned to look at Jules and fell back into his chair in a daze. He raised a shaking finger at Jules, pointing at his amber eye.
"You – you – are you Crown Prince Jules of the Emerald Kingdom?" he asked in a trembling voice and then swallowed hard.
Jules frowned. "I am," he said. "What is the matter? Is there something wrong?"
He looked at Mana and Raven, both of whom had small smiles on their faces.
