Chapter 394: Half-Truths

The interior of the castle was eerily dark; aside from the faint sunlight that filtered through the narrow windows, there was no other source of light within. Aron and Benjamin had to stay closely behind Elder Astra to ensure they wouldn't get lost.

 

Astra led them deeper into the castle until they finally arrived at a spacious hall located at its depths.

 

"Why have you brought us here? What do you want to say?" Aron asked Astra in a confrontational tone.

 

Astra did not respond immediately; instead, he slowly walked over to a long table at the far end of the hall.

 

"I have a lot to say, and it won't be possible to finish in a short time. So I hope both of you can sit down and listen to everything I have to say," Elder Astra said as he gradually took a seat, smiling at Aron and Benjamin.
