The Most Guarded Secret

Lysandra's composure momentarily faltered, visibly shaken by Asher's revelations. 

It was as if a thousand thunderbolts struck her mind.

She had always dreaded the scenario where she would hear these words coming out of a certain someone's mouth, but she never thought it was going to come from the new bloodburn king, a young alien at that.

However, she quickly regained her poise, her eyes narrowing as she instinctively countered his claims, "Even if we assume it is true, Agonon would never disclose such a secret to anyone, not even his most trusted aide," she asserted her voice tinged with both skepticism and a hint of uncertainty.

She had spent so much effort for years to keep this secret from ever seeing the light. The last person who would come to know would be him.
