"Roshan, tell me what happened on the day my mother died," said Mars with his ar at Roshan His eyes were focused on the soldiers orking hard to dig the grave with the shovels they brought with them

The butler went stiff when he heard the question He knew this day would come He had prepared his story and practiced it several times He was just shocked to know he had to recount it earlier than expected

He thought the prince was still on the way, but he arrived back much, much earlier than expected
