'My husband and I can detect him. He has a very strong aura around him, and of course, you also tell from how strong the bloody scent coming from his body. So, that person who attacked us in the royal garden before, was not him, I am sure of that,' Elder Duckling assured as she wanted Odette to calm down.
"Then who else, Elder? His Majesty is the only one with darkness magic," Odette said dejectedly. She seemed so crushed by the idea of the Masked Alpha wanting her dead. "Am I really that useless to the point he'd try to kill me instead of just… kicking me out?"
'Your suspicion is getting out of hand, Odette. I assure you that he is not the attacker, and as for the identity of that person… My husband and I will start searching later,' Elder Duckling said. 'My son never hates you, Odette, and never will.'
…
"Sorry, Elder. I was just overwhelmed by the idea. I need a rest for now."
