Just a few minutes ago, Cedric suddenly received a letter from his uncle—the same letter he had just finished reading, the one that informed him of Nolan's death.
He was so shocked that he almost refused to believe it. But his uncle's words were not a lie, and sooner or later, he had to accept them.
"Still, this is really strange," he muttered, fiddling with the letter in his hand. "Nolan didn't die because of that sea monster but from drowning in the sea. Could there be another reason?"
According to the letter, Nolan had been thrown into the sea while trying to save Rafine. But given Nolan's nature—always indifferent to those around him—that sounded impossible.
Forget about sacrificing his life for a girl; Nolan wouldn't even give up his belongings. That alone made Cedric suspect there might be another reason behind all this.
