"What do you know about this condition, Dieter?"
If Dieter wanted to hide his knowledge, he knew he was already too late. Cael didn't miss his initial reaction.
Luckily for Cael, this was just the perfect bone to throw. Then, it would finally be time for Dieter to ask REAL questions.
"I read about a similar condition in some old chronicles," Dieter said slowly, tapping on his belt as he recalled details. He didn't mention that the chronicle described his dynasty members. "There were several rare occasions of people born not in their right mind. At the first glance, at least. But there was a difference between their hallucinations and delusions of madmen."
Cael leaned closer, even taking half a step towards Dieter. "Did these people hear voices, too?"
