How Come?

A smile appeared on Ethan's face the moment the king made that utterance, he was really doing something about it, he wanted to find out the person behind Aiden's capture. And this was the thought that ran through Ethan's mind at that moment,

'I wonder how the person is gonna hide it now. Your thoughts would be read, and everything would be exposed. If the person is among you guys, he'll be exposed today. And I can't wait to know who the person is so I can rip him apart'.

..He was really glad that this was the king's plan all along.

What kind of expression was on Asher's face the moment he heard the king's utterance? Unreadable. The king glanced at the woman and said to her,

"Go do your job, read their minds, and tell me if it's one of them that is behind the capture of Ethan's son. Reveal the person so he would be severely punished...he'd most likely lose his life".

..And at that moment, the woman began moving toward the chiefs and nobles.
