Vincenzo's POV
"Ah, there you are," my mother said as she walked through the doors and came to stand in front of me with a smile on her face.
"Were you looking for me?" I asked and she nodded, taking something out from behind her and I stared down at the ancient-looking book in her hands.
"This is..." I drifted off, already knowing exactly what it was but despite all the times I've seen and read this book in the past, I was seeing it in a different light today since everything in this book was true and not just a silly fairytale.
"Ever since I met my future daughter-in-law, I went on a mission to find this book," she handed me the book as I choked at her words.
"Your what?" I asked and she chuckled. "She's not your future daughter-in-law. She's just someone that's going to help me with catching Alpheus," I corrected her slip-up.
"Liar," I glared at my mother but chose not to say anything else.
