The tension in the room reached its peak when Sylvester started tapping the floor with the tip of the dagger. "Answer me, Cardinal."
The Cardinal looked nervous and gulped his saliva. He seemed nervous and hesitant while telling this, which made no sense as he had revealed so much. "I-I do not wish to put his life in danger, my lord."
"You have nothing to fear here, Cardinal. Your secrets are safe with us, so go ahead and tell me everything." He assured.
"I… I…" The Cardinal slowly made up his mind. "He's alive, Lord Bard. The witch didn't know that my two subordinates were, in reality, twins. In fact, most of the clergymen in the Monastery didn't know that, as the two men had little to no contact with anything outside my office. The man she killed was the wrong one. The real one I have kept hidden for I know he'd be dead if found out."
