The discussion with Ashlyn was a brief one, and though I wanted to add more spice to it... doing so could have resulted in outcomes unfavourable for me.
With Arnold's death, the entire atmosphere in the mansion was a subdued one, which should have been an expected thing, yet for some reason I didn't quite enjoy the silence.
Walking through the hallway, I read the message that had just popped on the screen of my device.
The visit to the forge... was cancelled.
The students were asked to stay in their room and wait for further instructions.
While leaving Ashlyn's room, I had seen some maids in the hallway.
Maybe they had come to get Ashlyn ready or something else.
I, on my part, moved towards where Damian was waiting for me, as we had quite a few things to discuss.

"You think your brother's still alive?"
"Yes."
Damian replied with complete confidence in his eyes.
