Maerwyn’s anticipation only grew, her eyes fixed on the entrance without blinking, and after a short while, steady footsteps echoed from outside as Quin returned his voice carrying clearly, “Your Majesty, the man has arrived.”

Every gaze in the hall turned toward the doorway.

The moment the figure stepped inside with Quin, the entire hall fell into stunned silence.

Daphne’s face drained of color in an instant.

The man who entered looked nothing like anyone had expected.

He was tall and powerfully built, completely unlike the refined, slender image one would associate with an artist, and though he wore a worn dark cloak, his presence felt more like someone who had traveled far and seen hardship rather than someone who spent his days painting.

His face was marked by time and weather, with two distinct scars crossing his left cheek, adding a sharp, almost formidable edge to his appearance, while a few strands of gray hair fell loosely over his brow, making it clear he was no longer young.

Everything about him suggested a seasoned wanderer, not a quiet illustrator.

Maerwyn stared, stunned, “Lord Jett… are you sure you brought the right person?”

Quin started to speak, but the man stepped forward first dipping his head in a measured show of respect, his voice steady as he said, “Elias, at your service, Your Majesty… Your Majesty.”

His gaze swept across the hall, and when it passed Elowen, it paused for the briefest moment before moving on without any sign of recognition.

Theodric studied him carefully, uncertainty clear in his expression, “You’re the one who illustrated Azure’s work?”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Elias replied without hesitation.

Sensing the doubt, he remained calm and continued, “I the lower corner of each illustration, there is a small mark that can only be seen upon close inspection it reads ‘Elias,’ which is my name, and it is carved from a walnut seal, one of a kind.”

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bundle from inside his cloak and carefully unwrapped it, revealing the seal.

Quin stepped forward, received it with both hands, and presented it to Theodric.

Theodric examined it closely, noting the fine craftsmanship despite its small size, the clean lines and precise carving unmistakable.

Still uncertain, he turned his gaze toward Maerwyn.

She understood at once, stepping forward to take the seal, and after only a brief glance, she nodded firmly, “It’s real, every illustration had this exact mark, and this tiny chip along the edge is the same, I remember it clearly.”

At that point, there was no room left for doubt.

Maerwyn, unable to hold back, asked eagerly, “Did you come all the way to Vanelle because you heard about Daphne’s wedding, to congratulate her?”

Elias frowned slightly, confusion crossing his face, “Daphne?”

“The Crown Princess, Azure,” Maerwyn said, gesturing toward Daphne.

Following her direction, Elias turned to look at Daphne

His gaze sharpened as he looked her over from head to toe, his expression growing more serious with each passing second.

“The Crown Princess?”

He shook his head without hesitation, his voice firm and decisive, “I’ve never seen her before.”

Those words hit like a spark dropped into dry tinder, and the entire hall erupted at once.

“What? She’s not Azure?”

“Then where did the new book come from?”

“So she’s been pretending all along?”

“That seal was verified, both His Majesty and Her Highness confirmed it, if he dares say this here…”

“If it’s false, that’s deception at the highest level…”
