Emmelyn And Her Lies

"Do you know anything about the prophecy?" Mars repeated his question. His eyes were fixed on the girl.

Did Emmelyn know about the prophecy? What did she think about it? Could she now understand the reason why his father seemed to be so 'bloodthirsty?'

Emmelyn was a quick-witted girl. She had no problems lying, even though she was offended the last time Mars accused her of lying a lot.

She believed that she shouldn't let out all her cards in the open. So, she decided to lie.

"I've heard rumors about it, but I thought it wasn't true," she said with a shrug. "I told you when I was traveling here I met all kinds of people. I heard about this from one of the people I met on the road."

At the moment, Mrs. Adler was her secret. It seemed the old woman knew so many things. Most of the things she told Emmelyn was proven to be true.
