"Teacher Ning, why are you lying about your name?" Ender whispered while they were moving towards the living.
"I have some circumstances that need me to keep my name hidden," Ning said.
"Oh, and also, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the ceremony?" he asked.
"I left early," Ning said with a smile.
"Oh, thank god you did. I hear quite a large massacre took place in the ceremony afterward. The crown prince tried to forcefully take the throne and was killed," Ender said.
"You haven't heard anything else?" Ning asked in surprise.
"Umm… no? That's all father told me from what he was reported," Ender said. "He was about to tell me more, but…" Ender turned towards Bradley and hinted that they were interrupted.
Ning understood and smiled.
Bradley reached the living room first and said, "Oh wow, look at your servants, prepping snacks for me before I even arrived. At least you are doing something right, uncle."
