Chapter 278: Time to show who you are
"Your Highness, you could have summoned me to the palace," Odin remarked as Magnus and Griffin stepped down from the carriage.
Magnus adjusted his coat and replied, "I needed to speak with my in-laws personally." Odin nodded in understanding and stepped aside, allowing them to pass.
The trio entered the grand estate and made their way to the elegantly furnished living room, where Norman was already seated. Upon seeing the Prince, Norman promptly rose from his chair and greeted Magnus with a deep, respectful bow.
"Please, have a seat, Your Highness," Norman said, gesturing toward the main sofa. He then turned to a nearby servant and instructed, "Fetch my wife."
Magnus settled into the plush sofa, while Griffin and Odin remained standing, their expressions were attentive and vigilant.
"Alora didn’t come here, Prince Magnus. I heard about the recent rumors regarding a witch. Is everything alright in the palace?" Norman inquired, showing his concerns.
"I chose to come alone. Everything is well at the palace," Magnus said and saw Rhea rushing toward them while Venus was behind her mother. They both greeted him when Magnus asked Rhea to take a seat.
"I’m here to talk about an important matter with you," Magnus said, a serious expression formed on his face. "Qasima is a formidable witch, who has awaken after thousands of years. Odin must have talked to you about it already," he said, glancing at Norman.
"Yes. Odin did tell me why suddenly the security is tightened around this house. However, he didn’t go in details," Norman said. He rubbed his hands together, his nervousness building with each passing second.
