The next morning, Emma and Therius woke up early. They wanted to see the boy from last night and talked to him before Emma went back to the academy.
"He said his name is Alderaan," Emma said. "He can't speak.. poor boy."
Therius nodded. He was wondering about the boy's origin. He had silver eyes, which were quite rare in Akkadia. People with silver eyes were only found in Pallas. It was very, very far from here.
"I will question his abuser to find out more info about him. Maybe he was kidnapped and still has parents too," Therius replied.
They entered their huge dining room facing the valley and saw the boy was dressed in a clean shirt and pants. He still looked sick like last night, but at least now he was not dirty. He rose from his seat as soon as he saw Therius and Emma.
"Good morning, Alderaan," Emma smiled at him. "How was your sleep? I hope you slept well."
Alderaan batted his eyes. He looked embarrassed because he couldn't speak.
