Back in Eirden, Felix went straight to Aaron after ending the call with Stella.
He told Aaron that he needed to leave for Seaborne immediately.
Aaron froze.
“Right now?”
“Yes.”
“She’s really in Seaborne?”
Felix was not the only one who doubted it.
Aaron found the timing suspicious too.
Why would Stella suddenly call now?
“Doesn’t it feel deliberate?” Aaron asked.
“What if she really is there?”
Even if there was only the slightest chance, Felix intended to go and bring her back.
Seeing how determined he was, Aaron let out a helpless sigh.
“That stubborn girl. Why does she always…”
He stopped himself.
Aaron had no idea what to do with his sister anymore.
She was constantly on guard around them.
And now, at a time like this, she had suddenly asked Felix to pick her up.
Aaron did not believe for a second that there was no scheme behind it.
“You know she’s working with Amos now,” he said. “And don’t you think this is a little too obvious?”
It was such a blatant attempt to draw them away that it almost felt insulting.
“I still have to go,” Felix said firmly.
Aaron fell silent.
“You have to?”
“She’s doing this on purpose.”
Aaron’s tone grew heavier.
He wanted Stella brought back just as badly as Felix did.
But this was clearly a trap.
“She doesn’t trust me anymore. I…”
Felix could not finish.
