Something crossed Aurora's mind. It made sense that he didn't care about the knight that was sacrificed to the maleficent tree. It also made sense that he proposed to go to the tower to study magic. It was like he was searching for an opportunity to get her to join. However, Duncarabian said it would be the worse idea if it happened. Furthermore, since she wasn't normal, they might find her as a good lab rat.
She realized Mike was used to pull young apprentice magicians to the circle. Mike stared at Stephan thinking of his second proposal for the day. It would be good for him to have two more brothers. However, as Stephan was in Maddock's body, it would be impossible to hide it. It would be a nightmare for him since the other mages would like Maddock back. Maddock was one of their important pawns.
Aurora crossed her arms and returned Mike's glance at her with a hard glare. Despite her best effort to get him to make a reaction, he only smiled at her innocently.
