The boy was wearing a silver-white gown, and scars on the back could be seen through it. That caused the prince's curiosity to grow even more. He didn't want to scare the stranger, but the mysterious boy quickly turned around and looked at the prince. Aldrich had never seen such a beautiful face in his life. His eyes were purple mixed with green, he had tanned skin and freckles were all over his face. The prince went to greet him, but when he extended his arm, the boy disappeared in front of his eyes.

He was perplexed by the puzzlement and familiarity that he felt towards the strange boy. And indeed, the child had a connection with the prince, for he was the ghost of Aldrich’s ancestors. The prince was not sure who the boy was exactly, but he had a guess. The boy could have been the child of his great-great-grandmother, who shared similar features with Jerrick, or he could have been the result of her sorcery.
