Did something happen?“Warden, I thought you were going back into your house. What happened? Is everything all right?” He asked, in concern.“Grandmaster, I'm afraid I have terrible news and I don't think you will be happy to hear this..” The old man sits up, meeting Warden's gaze and also wondering what on earth was going on.He did not like the idea of listening to bad news at all but it was all part of life.Probably he was getting old and all he wanted was nothing but happiness.“Keith and Ellinor found Jeff by the door, eavesdropping on our conversation.

No one seems to understand what this man was going on about..The only person whose face he couldn't see clearly was master Warden, and Keith was scared of what he would see on that man's face.Did Jeff betrayal has something to do with him? If yes, then how is he even connected to this whole situation to begin with? It made no sense to him and he was hoping someone would explain what was going on..“You betrayed everyone on your own accord! No one here to blame for it! How is that you being a man of dignity?!” “You know exactly what I mean master warden! Unless he doesn't know about it and you're trying to cover it up…” It was now that Keith knew that this certainly had something to do with him.From the look on Ellinor’s face, s

“What is he talking about? Why does this have anything to do with me?” Keith asked Warden narrowed his eyes on Jeff but the young man darts Jim a nonchalant look.“Jeff doesn't know what he is saying. Just ignore him. Do you mind stepping outside briefly?” “I'm not going anywhere until someone tells me what on earth is going on!” Keith snapped.“Ellinor, escort him out of here.” Warden ordered.Jeff smirked . “Come to think of it, there's no point following due process anymore. You are going to punish me regardless, I might as well tell you the truth.” Warden narrowed his eyes on Jeff, clenching his fist.“Shut your mouth.” “This is all about you because this plan was built and centered around your existence! You…” Warden throws Jeff a punch that forced him unconscious.“Perhaps we can do this when he is more stable.

She didn't waste any more time to get things started.“I understand your fears but prince Keith is nowhere to be found. The guards have searched everywhere for him but no one can find him. He seem to have dropped from the surface of the earth. We can't and I repeat we can't leave the throne empty. We need to do what is right and needful at this minute.” “What are you suggesting that we do then?

There's no need for me to go and visit them
