Cp 41

And Emperor Theo was shocked to hear that name from Miguel; not only the Emperor but Mathias was just as shocked. After all these years, the name was swallowed up by the earth, and now he heard it again.

Miguel nodded. "Yes."

Theo rubbed his face rough and threw his body against the back of the sofa. The atmosphere in the room became tense; no one spoke, and they were busy with each other's thoughts.

"You know that bringing a dead person back from the dead is taboo." Theo's face turned serious.

"Yes, I'll accept your punishment." Miguel is no less severe than he's been preparing for this for a long time.

"Do you know who performed the ritual?"

"No, only Alouise knows."

"What the boy said."

"Ashley will be reborn. Only then Alouise disappeared."

"Rebirth?"

"Yes."
