“Oh, honey, why worry about whether he’s telling the truth or not?” Laura

remarked casually. “Just treat it like you’re meeting him all over again. If you

don’t like him, you don’t have to pay him any mind.”

“But… that doesn’t seem very polite,” Claudette responded in her usual gentle

manner, giving Magnus a polite smile. “Sorry, but I have amnesia–I don’t

remember anything.”

Magnus flashed a charming, gentlemanly smile. “That’s alright. I can fix the

car while telling you about our past.”

“Alright, thank you!” Claudette nodded.

Magnus grabbed some tools from the trunk and opened the hood. As he

checked the engine, he began, “When we were kids, we’d often play princess

and knight. Even back then, I swore I’d be your knight and protect you for life.”

Really? But why didn’t you stop protecting me?” Claudette’s question held a

touch of innocent reproach.

Magnus looked up with a self–deprecating smile. “Yes, not only did I fail to

protect you, but I let you take a bullet for me.”

“I took a bullet for you?” Claudette furrowed her brow, trying to recall, but her

mind drew a blank.

“Yes, it was during your birthday celebration at the base of the mountain. We

were all happy, but then someone suddenly attacked, aiming right at me,‘

Magnus explained smoothly.

Laura chose not to expose his lie. Ever since Claudette had returned from the

Dark Night Islands, Laura had avoided telling her about her past love for

Emmanuel or the times she’d risked her life for him. She feared that if

laudette knew and realized Emmanuel was still with Mackenzie, the truth

would only bring her heartbreak.

“Who was he? Why did he attack you?” Claudette asked, caught up in the

story.

“He’s dead now, so his name doesn’t matter. He was jealous and saw me as

a rival, thinking that if he killed me, he’d win your heart.” Magnus continued to

weave his tale.

Laura couldn’t help but mentally scoff. Magnus was indeed a master

manipulator, lying with an impressive lack of shame.

In the backseat, Hattie felt the sorrow behind her brother’s words. No one

understood better than she did that her brother’s love for Claudette was real

That intense love had driven him to the extremes he’d gone to. Now, having

lie to her to regain her affection must have been painful.

“Did I… did I really like you that much?” Claudette asked, resting her chin in her

hand as she looked at Magnus with clear doubt. Magnus was refined and

polite, but he wasn’t her type. If he had Emmanuel’s strong build and rugged

demeanor, she might’ve believed him more.

“Well, the past is the past,” Magnus replied with confidence. “From now on,

I’ll

make you like me that much again. I’ll be here to protect you, my princess.

Claudette looked a bit uncomfortable, not sure what to say. Eager to shift the

onversation, she quickly asked, “So, what’s wrong with my car? Can you fix

it?”

“Unfortunately, it needs other equipment to get it running again. Looks like

you’ll have to ride with us up the mountain,” Magnus said with a charming

smile. In truth, he had no idea how to fix cars–he just wanted an excuse to

talk to Claudette.

“Well, alright. I want to get to the lake as soon as possible and see how they

plan to retrieve all those resources.” Claudette accepted his suggestion and,

along with Laura, climbed into the Zelinsky siblings‘ car, letting Magnus drive

them up the mountain.

“Ms. Quillen, Magnus has arrived!” Lexi quickly returned to the lakeside to

report to Mackenzie.

lackenzie let out a small sigh of relief, a glimmer of anticipation flickering in

her eyes. “Finally! If he’d waited any longer, I would’ve had to take action

myself.”

“Have you figured out his plan, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi asked, surprised.

“Probably,” Mackenzie replied, nodding. “But since he’s here, I’ll leave it to him

-he might have the advantage on this one.”

Just then, Magnus‘ voice cut in, “Some things aren’t just about having brains,

Ms. Quillen–you might find this a bit out of your depth.”

Loxi and Rhott both shot him disapproving looks. To them, Mackenzie was

second to none. But Mackenzie took it in stride, smiling. “Alright then, I’ll sit

back and watch you work.”

Magnus flashed her a confident grin before turning to Claudette. “Shall we

play a fun game together? You loved playing games with me when we were

kids. Maybe it’ll jog your memory?”

Claudette pressed her lips together, not saying a word.

Mackenzie quirked a brow, watching their interaction. Does Magnus still have

feelings for Claudette? After everything he’d put her through, didn’t he realize

what he’d done?

But this wasn’t the time to dwell on Claudette’s love life. Crowds had

planned to dredge up the massive amount of resources hidden in the lake.

Ms. Quillen, please follow my instructions and release the carp into the lake

in batches,” Magnus finally directed, cutting to the chase.

“Quintus, please help coordinate with Magnus,” Mackenzie said, passing the

task to Quintus.

Quintus approached Magnus with a grin, clapping a hand firmly on his

shoulder. “Huh, you’ve got quite the balls to still go after my sister. I’ll be

Magnus instructed the crew to release fish into the lake while he pulled out a

piece of paper and began sketching strange diagrams.

“What’s that?” Quintus asked.

Magnus only smiled without answering, his silence as enigmatic as ever.

Quintus frowned, irritated, but Mackenzie stepped in to explain. “He’s

bserving and recording the movement patterns of the carp after they enter

the water.”

“What?!” Quintus exclaimed, and Lexi looked equally stunned.

“How is that even possible?” Rhett protested. “With my skills, I can only track

fish down to about 15 feet below the surface. How can he possibly see further

than that?”

Magnus continued to smile, keeping his focus on his notes.
