Lex probably wasn't the only one in the room that had Mr. Amadeus's number, but Mom had asked him to make the call. It was probably because this was something that involved me, and Lex was my bodyguard. And if Mr. Amadeus saw the call coming in from Lex, then he was more likely to answer it, knowing that it was something that had to do with me, and therefore with my mom. I didn't know if he had my mom's number saved in his phone. Were people that were lower ranked like that allowed to have the queen's phone number? I wasn't up on that particular part of the etiquette of royalty. I didn't know if I ever would be, really. If we all survived, I would leave for the underworld as soon as I was done with college.
The call that Lex placed to Mr. Amadeus was answered on the third ring. That was quick for so early in the morning. Then again, he was a teacher and was used to getting up early. It was the weekend though, so I figured that he would want to sleep in.
