Chapter Twenty

Aiden's eyebrows raised in curiosity as he asked, "What is this girl supposed to be capable of?"

"She is meant to bring back my powers," the man replied, his tone grave and serious.

"But how, sir?" Aiden pressed for more information.

"She must perform a ritual, and then, if I so desire, she will become my wife," the man explained, his words dripping with anticipation.

Aiden's confusion grew as he questioned, "How is it possible for her to restore stolen powers? Only the royals have the authority to take away power, and it is believed that only they can return it. No one else is said to possess such a gift."
