Faustina blinked.
Fortuna…torum?
Claire Fortunatorum?
Faustina's chocolate-brown eyes were pinned to Claire Almost everyone was deeply surprised at the revelation.
Fortunatorum.
That name was engraved in every aspiring mage—the name of a prodigy who was taken by the Forsaken warlock and disappeared without a trace after the massacre of Feursturm's royal family. The ones who showed no surprise whatsoever in their faces were the nobles such as Anakin and the ones with Claire, and also Leviticus, whose observant eyes were unmoving from Claire.
"Are you guys aware of what the dark castle is?" Claire exclaimed. "If you're not aware of the story, then you might find it hard to believe my theory."
Leviticus turned to his group. They were all apprehensive and uncertain. Leviticus only gave them brief explanations, after all. They only absorbed factual information, like reading a single passage on a book without thinking that it is more than anything other than a fact.
