After that, Zezi had gone to see Delice. She didn't even have to share her suspicion, the Royal Advisor had beat her to it.
"Just be vigilant," Lady Delice had said, as they hurried away from the den, and up the stairs. "I think there is more to this than we know, I will ask Laura soon."
Leaving Lady Delice, she had ran into Akeem, whose path she had blocked. His eyes which were originally filled with worry turned into those of attack but she refused to move.
Instead, she pulled him aside into the Hall of Statues. So much was going on in the Castle lately, their presence here would most likely go unnoticed.
"She turned you, didn't she?" Zezi said the moment the door was shut behind her. "But something had been different in the process. That is why you are different."
Hope lit in Zezi's heart. Maybe she would be able to get what her daughter was before the tests would be conducted.
Maybe her daughter was just like Akeem.
Akeem's face shadowed with secrecy.
