Did rumours go around about him attending the introduction ceremony?! Keith could have sworn he savaged the situation!

Keith was dismissed and he made his way out of the Grandmasters room quietly. Now he was starting to wish that his cover was blown instead than to be called into this discussion. The annoying part of it was the fact thathe had no choice but to participate in this.He couldn't bring himself to believe that this had happened to him.

Do you have a message for me? It is unlike you to show up like this.” The old man said.“Master, you know I would come to check up on you if I had a chance.” Ellinor said in her own defence.“That's exactly what I said. You are not the type to decide to pay me a visit.” If Ellinor was being honest,
