"...When will the funeral be? "

"It was actually supposed to be your funeral as well. Atlas arrived just before you did, bringing the news of your death. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding...well. Yor're alive, so there's hope."

" why did he just assume I was dead? "

"He didn't according to his story. He had gone to fetch you and claimed that he saw you and bangle fall into a deep ditch. He claimed to have ridden her immediately to spread the news. He arrived almost two hours ago. Mino's funeral was immediately prepared for yesterday afternoon when we received word of his death and your disappearance. I wish this all made more sense...I suppose you'll have to talk to Atlas yourself."

" I will... talk to him about it. Because that story is not true. "

"Oh? We'll have to straighten it out then. He is still a bit frazzled at the loss of his brother, so perhaps not all of his story is reliable. Considering you two will be wed at some point, it is certainly best that you get to know him."
Anthea interrupted him, wiping away a tear and saying "My dear girl, you are so brave. I understand this must all be very hard for you. Just remember, we are here for you should you need us. Now please feel free to go, see Atlas."

She nodded. " Thank you. And...I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for him. " With that she headed inside, good to see this 'Atlas' character.

Atlas was in the study just inside the library, scribbling away at his desk. She'd most certainly remember him, more specifically as the 'fake Temorin.'

She had a speculation that he was fake Temorin. She walked into the library, looking around for him.

He spotted her and then promptly smashed his head into the desk.
"you have GOT to be kidding me!"
