"This... is the room?" Jabil asked as he scanned the room with a frown.

"Yes... even though there are empty rooms, they're under maintenance," Ghule replied dismissively, not even bothering to look Kent in the eye. "This is the best we can offer at the moment. Please, adjust for now. I'll see to it that a new room is arranged soon."

Kent's eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing. He watched as Ghule turned on his heel and left without waiting for any further questions. The servant's clear disregard was evident, but Kent didn't show any sign of irritation.

Ruby, the phoenix lady, stepped forward, her hands glowing with a faint light as she prepared to cast a cleaning spell. "This is absurd. Let me take care of this filth," she said, her voice laced with indignation.

But before she could act, Kent raised his hand. "Wait," he said quietly, his gaze now fixed on something in the room.

Ruby blinked in confusion but lowered her hands, following Kent's eyes to an old, worn painting that hung on the far wall.

Despite the thick layer of dust, the image on the canvas was hauntingly clear—a pregnant woman with a sorrowful expression, her arms wrapped around her knees as dark, shadowy hands reached out from the background toward her. A cold chill seemed to emanate from the painting, as though it carried the weight of old, hidden memories.

Kent stepped closer, his eyes narrowing as he leaned in to get a better look. A strange familiarity tugged at him, and his heart began to race. Then, as Kent snapped, the fire illuminated the painting, recognition struck him.

"Mother..." Kent muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.

The woman in the painting was none other than his own mother, Madam Clark. Now, Kent remembered that his mother stayed in the Frost family after his father married Soya, sister of Jason Mama.

Ghule had unknowingly brought Kent to the very room his mother had once stayed in.

A small smile tugged at Kent's lips as he wandered the room, touching objects that might have once belonged to his mother. "So this was her home," he whispered to himself.

"He must be headstrong. As I said, This man is in trouble. His mask is bad omen."

The story soon grew in exaggeration as the relatives whispered among themselves, twisting Lily's words. Soon, the narrative had shifted entirely, with some claiming that Kent had stared brazenly at Princess Chuli body and tried to use the Frost family's name to escape punishment. Lily came in time to save Kent.

Unbeknownst to Kent, the fake story soon reached the ears of Ghule, the servant. Eager to pass the information, Ghule began rushing outside to contact Scott Lin.

But just as Ghule reached the palace entrance, he stumbled against Scott Lin, who came to meet Lily.

"Where are you running to? Is Lily in her room?" Scott asked while pushing away Ghule with a single finger.

Ghule's eyes went wide and soon a wide smile formed on his lips. "Master, I just thought of contacting you. Please, come with me. There is urgent news." Ghule almost jumping with excitement.

"What's the hurry? First, let me meet Lily. I heard she is in trouble." Scott said as he tried to walk past Ghule.

"Ahhh... Master. First listen to me. The trouble is not Madam Lily. She brought a new guy home and announced that she wants to marry him." Ghule spoke hurriedly in a hushed tone.

Scott Lin came to a dead stop after hearing that. He turned around and stared at Ghule with dumb face. "Are you insane?" Scott asked with angry glare.

"You will become insane after hearing this." Ghule thought to himself, but didn't dare to utter that loudly.

"Speak... what is it you idiot?" Scott asked impatiently.

Ghule made a frustrated look as he gritted teeth in disappointment. "I'm telling the truth. Princess brought a new masked guy home and declared him as her future husband. Worst thing, that guy is the one who messed up with the Doom family princess." Ghule cried out impatiently.
