My legs dangled over the ledge of the counter I sat on. I held the coffee mug to my chest as water boiled in the background. The apartment is warm which I am so appreciative of. For some reason, I still can't put the idea of Paul randomly asking about my mother randomly.

Is it really out of curiosity? It is such an odd thing to ask.

I sighed clicking the kettle's button turning it off.

Did Paul do anything else that made me suspicious?

The memories of Paul knocking on our cabin for the first time flashed in my head. Something I never thought of clicked in my head.

"He is just a mere human-"
Said William.

"Sorry to interrupt you, your highness. but, I am a fae, I consume a lot of helpful magic."
Paul replied.

I poured the hot water into the cup I have prepared for William. I heard William yawn loudly before he opened the bathroom door. William walked out with a towel sitting on his shoulders, he scratched his head sitting down on the stool.

"Here you go."
I passed him his teacup. He smiled gracefully picking it up.

"Will?"

"Hm."

"Do any of the servants know that the royal family is empowered?"
I asked.

"Yeah, Dominic. Why?"

"Only Dominic?"

"Yes."

"Will do you remember the day we met Paul?"
I asked. He tilted his head looking as confused as ever.

"Yes?"

"Do you remember the interaction?"

"Ellis. What's going on?"

"He just told us straight ahead that he is a fae."
William's brows furrowed as if he is in deep thought.

"Faes can probably tell if a person is empowered. Why are you so suspicious of him all of a sudden?"
William asked.

I shrugged frowning.

"William, Can you ask Raya or Benji to run a background check on him?"

"No."

"William please."

"No, Ellis."

"But-"

"I said no."
Just like that, He got up and walked back into the room.

I sighed frustratedly. The phone on the table called out for me.
I bit my nails staring at it. I looked back at our room.

No. I can't do this to him.

I eyed the phone one last time before forcing myself to walk away.

I cleaned the same table for the tenth time in the past few minutes. My lips are caught between my teeth as I try to slyly watch Paul.
