Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Stoic's Secrets

“What did you say?” Glenda stepped forward. Princess Rae was about to speak when Glenda interjected again, “Did you say you saw her with the rogues in the woods?”

Princess Rae nodded. “There was an old man with her, and he was accompanied by two large rogues. He smelled of medicine and I could smell blood, too. He stood with Ma in the hidden royal gardens of the West Kingdom that lead to the woods.”

I watched as Godric stood up and demanded, “Can you describe the man?”

Princess Rae's eyes darted to Vuk who walked over and held her hand. “It's okay. No one will hurt you. I am here to protect you. Just answer King Godric.”

She nodded at him and then turned to Godric. “The man was tall and had long gray hair that reached his shoulders. I could have sworn his features are close to Randale.”

My eyes blazed and Godric growled. “What else?”

“He had a scar on his upper arm, and I saw a tattoo that looked like the emblem on the wall on his arm., Princess Rae stated.
