Capítulo 90: I Need To Know, Ling

Ling stared at the king too.

"I have no idea, King Sek", the wizard finally said.

Ceri just looked from the wizard to the king and back. There was something missing here. [A missing link], she thought. In all her visits to Queen Zyne, she had never seen any masked man, but with what the wizard had said, there was no way she would have seen him.

"You talked about him like he has become a thing of the past. Why?", Ceri asked the wizard.

Ling tried to remain and appear unperturbed. 

"When we went into the queen's room, a pouch of gold coins was found on the table"

"Some form of payment?", King Sek asked.

"Yes. I would think so"

"But why didn't he go with it? Such a man that had come into the palace for a particular purpose wouldn't joke with his pay, right? Especially as it appeared as he absconded", Ceri said.

Ling shrugged. "No one can ever know the mind of another"
