“You can’t be serious. He’s fallen for one of them?”
My cheeks turn scarlet, and my head whips back around to Milo to see if he can hear what we can. I can tell from his expression that he can’t. He looks confused.
I turn away from him, refocusing my attention to the conversation Milo's father is having.
“That’s what our scouts are saying, Father. He traveled all the way to Alexandria with this woman—they’re saying she’s the Sixth Sense—and he hasn’t left the Castle of Light since.”
“That doesn’t mean he’s in love with the damn girl.” Fitus’ voice is disgusted. “Maybe he’s plotting something. Planning on killing her to win back my good graces.”
“All due respect, if he’d planned on doing that, it would’ve been much smarter to kill her before she made it to the other five Senses.”
