(From Dion's Perspective)
"Melissa?" Mum almost choked on air. "Are you certain it's Melissa?"
"Yes. I'm sure," I said patiently.
"I met her only two days ago!" Mum exclaimed.
"I caught hold of five of the bandits. I set up a trap for them and they walked right into it," I said. I had assigned a female knight to act like a housewife and another knight acted as her husband. Abel, the duke's son (adopted) was there too. He and I usually went on missions together. "The bandits acted like they were on something."
"Drugs?" Father suggested.
"How were they robbing houses if they were on drugs?" Mum said. "Something else?" she asked me.
"It felt like they were being possessed. Does it sound odd?"
Mum exchanged a look with Father. "No. Go on," she urged.
