After dinner, I went straight to the study. I had promised to help Josh with his homework.
Once I finished explaining all the difficult problems, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated. The screen lit up. It was an alarm I had set earlier.
That was when I remembered. It was Wednesday, the day I had agreed to teach Samson the Isnesh language.
“Do you understand all these problems now? Any questions left?” I asked one last time.
Josh nodded hard, a relaxed smile spreading across his face. “Nope, none! Boss, you explained everything super clearly. I basically get it all now!”
I smiled and ruffled his hair. “Good. Make sure you review the wrong ones again later, alright?” With that, I turned and left the study, heading back to my room.
After closing the door, I locked it out of habit. The identity of “Sara” had to stay secret, and I couldn’t afford any interruptions.
I turned on my laptop and logged into my private study account. As soon as I got online, I saw that Samson’s avatar was already lit up. He had clearly been waiting.
I couldn’t help sending him a message. “You’re pretty punctual.”
He replied almost instantly with a simple “Yeah,” followed by, “Let’s start. What are we learning today?”
I stared at the screen, quietly impressed by his learning ability.
It had only been a little over a month, yet he had already mastered most basic Isnesh sentence structures and grammar. Simple conversations were no problem for him now.
“Let’s do situational dialogue today,” I replied, then started creating everyday conversation scenarios in a document and sending them to hin one by one.
Normally, he was very focused during lessons and responded quickly. Today, though, something felt off. His replies were noticeably slower, and sometimes they didn’t quite match what I had sent.
I could tell his state wasn’t great. Even more unstling was the vague feeling that he was deliberately steering the conversation elsewhere his tone carrying an unspoken sense of probing.

What really made my heart tighten was when he suddenly sent, “Sara, the way you talk reminds me of a friend of mine.”
The moment I read that, my heart dropped. My fingers froze on the keyboard, and my heartbeat skipped. The friend he meant … was it… me?
Had he noticed something? That couldn’t be right. I had hidden it well. The identity of “Sara” had almost nothing in common with how I usually acted. How could he possibly connect the two?
I forced myself to stay calm and replied, “Really? In what way?”
There was a long pause before he finally answered. “Hard to say. It’s just a feeling.”
Then he added, “It’s nothing. I’m probably overthinking it.”
Only then did I let out a quiet breath of relief. So it really had just been my imagination.
Maybe he’d been having too much on his plate lately, and his mind was wandering because he wasn’t in the best state. I hesitated for a moment, then typed, “If you’re not feeling great today, we can study another time.”
He didn’t object. He sent an OK hand sign, and His avatar went dark almost immediately. He logged off.
I shut down my laptop and lay back on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
That little moment of probing felt like a tiny thorn stuck in my heart. It made me nervous, but also strangely expectant.
Alan’s POV:
Early the next morning, I drove to the castle and parked downstairs. I waited nearly 10 minutes, but Amanda still hadn’t come out.
Growing impatient, I tapped the horn and shouted toward the building, “Amanda, what are you doing up there?! Hurry up! You’re going to be late!”
A few more minutes passed before hurried footsteps echoed from the stairwell. Amanda rushed down, her hair slightly messy, her face still carrying traces of sleepiness.
