"What?" Elizabeth was astonished.
Erica quickly acted, snatching Sylus by the arm the moment she noticed the expression on her father's face.
"Please don't mind anything Sylus said; he is way too enthusiastic after winning the second trial," she chuckled nervously while trying to pull Sylus away. "I'll talk to him and get him to calm down."
Sylus simply looked at her, carrying all the seriousness in the world.
"Are you that ignorant? Do you not wish to see your blood mother awake and well?"
"Sylus! I am trying to help you here!" Erica whispered, clearly worried.
But Sylus wasn't scared.
Not now.
This was something he had planned to uncover after the Adon Vale.
In his absence, he wished to clear his mother's name and bring everything out into the light.
He had always found this family weird to begin with.
And truthfully, this was a good way to challenge his father, something he had been dying to do.
So, he placed one hand on Erica's head, a smile on his face.
