"… Yes."
Aldrich paused but admitted positively to Amalia's question.
Aldrich knew Dreamer would come looking for House Venomous Rose soon. Many had seen Trifon in Death Separation, and even if there wasn't a leak from his side, there was one more House involved in this. A House, whose Viscounts didn't leave out of his Dungeon.
It was the House Firebird.
And the issue was, they had hired just too many Dreamers. It was no wonder to Aldrich, someone must have seen or mentioned Darkling or the Darkness Seeking Compass among them. And after not getting their Viscounts and compass back, maybe House Firebird itself had released this news to the public.
Trifon and Drago didn't know the full extent of Aldrich's reasoning behind claiming Trifon's bastard. But one of the reasons was to give a false impression to people, who thought themselves above others in cunning, that he had come from Death Separation.
