"What are you talking about?" The old man's face changed drastically, a hint of panic flitting across his gaze before he seemed to remember something and said gravely, "Did Alisa tell you this?"
"No, she came to me just hoping I could testify for her, to prove that her changing her mind about Torres had nothing to do with it. But when I asked her who was behind it, she wouldn't say, hmm... but no matter, unwillingness to answer is an answer in itself," Li Yu said.
"I asked myself, who in the castle is worth her protection, and who would she have to listen to even if she doesn't want to. It wasn't hard to think of you then."
"You are the oldest living member of the Arias family, all younger family members are your descendants, Ireya and Blanco are your great-granddaughter and great-grandson, Ruse, Alisa, and Torres are also your direct blood relatives. You don't talk much in the family, making it easy for people to overlook you."
