"You were saying... you were wrong about his death?" Leland asked Sophie carefully. "What do you mean by that?"
Sophie took a deep breath. "I was wrong. I thought he died because he didn't come for me for years. However, I suddenly saw him again... yesterday."
So, this was it.
Leland knew they would finally come to this point. He wanted to know what Sophie was thinking.
"Is it... the king?" Leland asked. He kept his tone flat and without emotion. This was such a sensitive topic for them, and he wanted to tread carefully.
Sophie was surprised to see Leland guess the man so easily. Was it really that obvious?
"How did you know?" she looked at him deeply.
