"Mm... a failed Ascension."
Lorenzo replied. Merlin had told him about this: that Alchemist had chased after Truth like a madman, finally using himself as the test subject for Ascension. Unfortunately, he failed; the only thing you could call lucky was that he managed to claw his way back to life.
"But Merlin would be interested in that kind of thing? I thought he didn't care about this stuff; the only things that could catch his attention were knowledge and duty, right?" Lorenzo added.
"Naturally. But I suspect this matter might be related to the Secret Keepers. Merlin is their fanboy to the point of obsession."
Arthur said with a grave expression. Blue Jade, beside him, was looking out the window. She still had that indifferent look, as if she couldn't hear their conversation at all.
"Secret Keepers?"
Hearing the term, Lorenzo felt a twinge of tension, followed by a headache.
"Remember the last time I met the Queen?"
