Osborne shook his head and smiled bitterly on hearing Alex's question.
"I did not expect you to be so blunt and arrive straight at the point."
"Before I answer you I have a question for you."
"Would you mind pleasing my curiosity?"
Alex nodded and asked him to continue.
"Sir Alex, do you believe human nature can be changed easily?"
The old wizard's voice slowly continued in Alex's ears.
"We magicians have always poured our heart and soul to take a peek at the secrets of the world. We tried to study the laws that even the Gods and Goddess are bound with."
"And I don't know if you remember or not. The head of Magic Tower lends a hand in the awakening ritual of the Stan family."
Alex's curiosity was piqued by his words.
"So?"
"In the ritual, the essence of humans is shown. Unlike other Princes, the essence I had seen had a very clear colour. It was so warm and bright that I don't think anyone could forget it."
