Capítulo 179: Broken seal

Cassandra broke the seal on the letter, her eyes quickly scanning its contents. Her brow furrowed as she read aloud:

"Dear Cassandra and Zafron,

We're at the Vex mansion. Please come and find us here. It's urgent.

- Matilda"

Zafron's face lit up with a mixture of relief and concern. "The Vex mansion? At least we know where they are now. But why would they be there?"

Cassandra shook her head, equally puzzled. "I'm not sure, but we need to go there immediately." She turned to her cart driver. "Prepare the cart. We're heading to the Vex estate."

Minutes later, as they settled into the plush seats of the flying cart, Zafron's expression darkened. "I have to say, I'm relieved to know where they are, but I have my reservations about Malachi Vex. The man's reputation is... questionable at best."
