Chapter 299: Herpo the Foul (II)
Cersei sat up straight, her eyes widening to the fullest extent. "Have you gone mad, Petyr?!"
Kai lifted his hand, making Cersei hold back her tongue.
"I share his worries," he continued, "and my worries are not baseless. Petyr?"
Littlefinger nodded.
"First, as told to us by my lady, Meg," he said, leaning forward, "there is no mention of Herpo the Foul in the main storyline.
"That means, if he is alive, then he has hidden himself well behind the curtains, to the point that not even Voldemort or Dumbledore could see a hint of him before their eventual death.
"Second, we don't know how many Horcruxes he had created.
"Voldemort proclaimed in the main storyline that he was the only one who had trodden the furthest on this path. But that's only valid in the absence of Herpo the Foul.
"This ancient wizard is the creator of this Dark Magic, and if he's alive, has lived for over 2000 years. The possibilities, dangers, and risks related to him are endless."
