Gerald woke up early in the morning, now happy that Theodora had finally given in to his plan. She had begun trusting him and soon she would lead him to that magical chalice. He thought of informing it to Reznor but then again, the dark wizard had his eyes and ears everywhere.
Oscar and Sylvia were on alert, and Gerald had no intention of watering their seeds of suspicion. So he decided against visiting Reznor. If the dark wizard needed to meet him, then he would do it anyway.
Yawning while stretching his hands above his head, Gerald came out of his hut to find Isabella sitting on the stone steps at the door. He looked around for Oscar, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Good morning, early bird!" He sat beside her.
"You are too early these days. Any secrets?" Isabella asked.
Now only Gerald noticed the cup of coffee in her hand and took it before sipping that coffee. Isabella didn't look mad at it as it was their usual thing.
