Chapter 212
Jonas nodded before asking, "Can I be informed of what that reason is?"
Edward nodded as he headed back to his throne. "A message came from the children of our god informing us about the attack."
"They claim that Silas is able to, in some way, grab hold of another human and turn them into his puppets. No magical signature or anything, they are still unsure if he can take over anybody he chooses," Edward said, observing Jonas and Elara closely.
Jonas’s expression turned grim. "Then I was right, the attack on the Harpies was a hand played by Silas."
Edward nodded to him, only for Jonas to shake his head. "I now wish I wasn’t right," Jonas whispered to himself before pointing at the council members who were back in their positions.
"Your previous action was to see if we were compromised and under Silas’s control?" Jonas asked, to which Edward nodded.
"I could not take the chance and let you endanger my people after being informed that the possession is non-magical and can happen in an instant," Edward answered Jonas’s question.
Jonas nodded before Elara, beside him, whispered in his ear, causing his eyes to widen as he looked at her. "Impossible, that’s absurd!"
Edward, curious about what got Jonas acting out, asked, "What did your envoy say, Prince?"
Jonas shook his head in horror as he answered. "She asked if there is a possibility that the attack in our kingdom was caused by those who have been compromised by Silas."
Jonas’s words seemed to open the minds of everyone present as Edward stood up from his throne, even his council members who had been quiet this whole time began chattering amongst themselves.
