"It all started in Mallory."
Huh?
I poked my ears with my fingers to be sure that I heard him right.
He just said that it all started in Mallory.
He did.
Is he mistaken? Or is there probably another Kingdom called Mallory?
Last I checked, there's only one place called Mallory in the whole world and it used to be my home.
Dorian had only visited Mallory recently when he came to see me, didn't he? Then how could this supposed secret start in Mallory?
How on earth is that possible?
Even though I had several questions swimming in my head, I chose silence and let Dorian go on with the tale.
"I know you find it surprising that this has to do with your motherland."
Dorian could probably read the confusion on my face.
"Believe me, Mel, it is," he said, confirming my thoughts. "Mallory is the root of all these."
I'm lost.
But still, I stayed calm and listened.
"My grandmother is a native of Mallory," Dorian began.
