49- "Her name is Annabelle, Your doppelganger."

[The Year 1742]

"Ava is with the doppelganger. Ostensibly, he abducted her." The king, Dominus informed Simon in his chamber.

"What does he need her for? This isn't going according to plan." Simon growled.

"I can't end him, and now I'm anxious because he won't hesitate to make an undertaking with mother."

"Does Gretel know about this? Perhaps she could trail their location. I've notified Micheal and the others about the probabilities of mother's arrival. They also seem annoyed as well." Simon explained.

"Well, Michael should be, he killed her daughter after all." Dominus ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Michael would surely be reaping it hard."

"Forsyth doesn't know yet, he wasn't in his chambers when I went to him."

"He'll be home soon," Dominus said.

"Gretel is departing soon, isn't she?"

"The hard nut girl is determined to stay since she's a senior nun."
