Xavier POV
I stared at my phone again as I paced back and forth across Kurtis's room. I couldn't shake off the knot of anxiety in my gut over the whole thing that had happened. A thousand and one scenarios were running through my mind as I tried not to imagine Selene's predicament.
From the audio recording we had listened to, she seemed to have suffered a lot. I was angry and guilty at the same time. It was part of my fault that Selene was sent on that dangerous mission but it was fruitful at the end. We can now confirm that the person posing as King Tanner was his brother Conrad.
But we weren't able to decipher his intentions from the audio recordings. Instead, it felt like he was immensely loyal to his brother and was reporting to him. The entire situation was dicey but what we hoped for was he didn't catch up to our plans and Selene had acted so well to quell rising suspicions whatever it may be.
