Aslan was too calm, and the calm water would usually bring disaster if anyone bothered it.
"I… um… I…"
"Why are you still doubting? Did we already tell each other the truth? Ah, I need one more secret to share? In that case, alright. One more secret you need to know, I planned to retrieve the Montgomery magic stone from the palace and kill Duke Coby," Aslan said without feeling burdened.
Rosie froze once again. Somehow, every secret the man shared sounded crazier every time she heard it.
"Du-Duke Coby? My uncle?" Rosie asked in disbelief.
"Yeah."
"W-why? Aslan… is that the reason why Killian is there?"
Aslan nodded. "Duke Coby has records that he kept hidden regarding the tragedy twenty years ago. Besides, Duke Coby is also a magician who is most likely asked by King Villiers to use the Montgomery magic stone. I have to stop him."
Rosie chuckled, feeling like she almost went crazy. Wait a moment. What would happen next then?
